Slightly soft in texture, these teething biscuits crumble easily, and are mild in flavour. They're perfect for babies from 6 months of age to help ease their sore gums.
Got all your teeth now? These biscuits are delicious dunked into yogurt or peanut butter for a healthy mummy or daddy snack!
-
Preheat the oven to 170°C fan (190°C/375°F/Gas 5).
-
Place the oats in a food processor and blend to the consistency of fine breadcrumbs. Add the rest of the ingredients and whizz until combined.
-
Tip out onto a clean work surface and bring the dough together with your hands; it should come together easily, but if it doesn’t, return to the food processor, add a touch more coconut oil or banana, and whizz together.
-
Flatten out to about 1.5cm (2⁄3in) thick with the palm of your hands, and cut into 10 strips. Take each piece of mixture and form into a long biscuit (cookie) with rounded corners. Get older siblings to help shape the biscuits for their baby brother or sister. Your little chef will love modelling the biscuits, it’s a little like playing with modelling dough.
-
Place onto a non-stick baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 20–30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Allow to cool completely before serving to baby.
-
Store the biscuits in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
