Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large banana (ripe)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons applesauce (unsweetened)
- 0.5 teaspoons cinnamon (ground, optional)
- 0.25 cup flour (whole wheat or all-purpose)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional for added softness)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth and creamy.
Add in the rolled oats, unsweetened applesauce, flour, and cinnamon (if using). Mix until the dough starts to come together.
If the mixture feels too sticky, add a little more flour, about 1 tablespoon at a time. If desired, mix in the coconut oil for additional softness.
Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time, rolling it into a ball. Flatten slightly into a cookie shape that’s easy for small hands to hold.
Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are firm to the touch but not overly hard. Avoid browning too much as softer textures are preferred for teething toddlers.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
Store the teething cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them in a zip-top bag for up to 1 month.
