Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup apple puree or unsweetened applesauce
- 1 medium banana (ripe and mashed)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and ground cinnamon (if using).
In a separate bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Add the apple puree and melted coconut oil, mixing well to combine.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The dough should be firm but slightly sticky.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Use cookie cutters or simply slice the dough into rectangular strips about the size of a baby’s hand.
Place the shaped biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small amount of space between them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are firm and lightly golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. The biscuits will harden further as they cool.
Store the teething biscuits in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer-term storage.
