Mini Meatballs

These mini meatballs make the perfect finger food. If your baby has an egg allergy you can substitute the egg for 1 tbsp chia seeds and 2.5 tbsp water. Stir these together and leave until it becomes quite sticky – then use as much as you need to bind the meatballs together.

You can freeze these in a plastic container, then reheat from frozen in a microwave or oven.
