At this stage, hazelnut flour can be offered in very small quantities (a pinch, up to 1–2 grams/⅛ tsp) mixed into a variety of foods to gently introduce the allergen. Try blending into soft cereals, mashed fruits, or yogurt for nutritional enrichment. Always watch closely for potential allergic reactions. Serve as part of a well-rounded meal that provides iron (like fortified cereals or pureed meats), vitamin C (mashed berries or citrus), and healthy fats (avocado or chia). Avoid serving hazelnut flour alone.

Hazelnut flour can be offered in slightly increased amounts (½–1 tsp, 2–5 grams) mixed into baked goods, pancakes, muffins, or yogurts. Continue to observe for allergic reactions with each exposure. Use as a nutrient booster alongside other energy-rich foods; include a source of protein (beans, eggs, or dairy), iron (lean meat or lentils), and fruit or veg for fiber and vitamin C. Always serve incorporated, never dry or alone.

From 18 months onward, hazelnut flour may be regularly incorporated (up to 1 tablespoon/8–10 grams) into home baking, oatmeal, energy balls, or smoothies. The rich flavor complements a broad range of dishes. Always offer as part of a varied meal, including protein, fruits/veggies, and grains. Hazelnut flour is highly allergenic, so continue to monitor for symptoms of allergy. Avoid if any family member has nut allergies. Never serve hazelnut flour dry.
