H and I made these little baked custards a few months ago. They are perfect for babies from 12 months old. So easy to make and sweetened slightly with maple syrup. For babies under 12 months omit the maple syrup.
We moved house over a month ago now and I am yet to have the internet connected – don’t get me started on that one! I’m syncing my computer to my phone in order to publish this quick post because my blog has been so neglected :(
Fingers crossed I will be back online soon but in the mean time, enjoy the video below of my little guy making baked custards all on his own.

Baked Custard For Baby
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 600 ml milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla (extract or paste)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
-
Combine the eggs and milk and whisk to combine. Add the vanilla and maple; whisk until the maple has dissolved.
-
Add ramekins to a heat proof dish and add hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake at 180 degrees C for 20 - 30 minutes. They should be still slightly wobbly in the middle. Allow to cool and serve.
Recipe Notes
Suitable for babies 12 months plus. Omit the maple syrup for younger babies.

March 20, 2016 at 4:01 pmI’ve never made baked custards with maple syrup. Sounds like it would work really well.
Cristie
March 20, 2016 at 9:49 pmThanks Mark, I think it does. I try not to use refined sugar as much as possible so I think maple is a great option. I sometimes use brown rice syrup if I want to keep it fructose free.

September 28, 2017 at 11:59 amHi, I’m making these for the family today :) The recipe made quite a bit, so how long will they keep for once baked?
Cristie
September 30, 2017 at 8:54 pmHi Hannah, yes I used medium sized moulds and it made 8. It will keep in the fridge for about 3 days.

February 26, 2019 at 4:19 amHi, I want to make this for my 11month baby. What kind of milk can I use? Will there is a substitute for syrup for 11month or shall we just completely omit the sugar?
Thank you.

February 26, 2019 at 10:05 amHi Proebe, Full cream crows milk in fine. I’m not sure how it would go with no sweetness though. You may like to try my sugar-free custard recipe instead.
