note
These apple and pumpkin mini cakes are my go to when Ethan needs more structure in his stool but still prefers soft textures. I usually offer one small piece, wait to see how his body responds, and only then repeat later in the day.
For extra gentle firmness, I stir in a little apple pectin powder that helps support the gut lining and gives the cakes a smoother, jelly like finish . Combined with pumpkin, it turns the batter into a soft, cohesive texture that is easier for him to handle when his stomach is unsettled.
