Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour (all-purpose or whole wheat)
- 1 cup baby cereal (iron-fortified rice or oat cereal)
- 1 large banana (ripe, mashed)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (or unsalted butter, melted)
- 3 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons cinnamon (optional for flavor)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and baby cereal. Stir to mix evenly.
Add the mashed banana, melted coconut oil (or butter), water, vanilla extract (if using), and cinnamon (if using) to the dry ingredients.
Mix well until the dough comes together. It should be firm but slightly sticky. Add one teaspoon of water at a time if the dough is too dry.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Use cookie cutters or a sharp knife to cut the dough into long, narrow biscuit shapes that are easy for a baby to hold.
Place the shaped biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuits are lightly golden and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. The biscuits will continue to harden as they cool.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
