Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 large ripe banana
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a blender or food processor, blend the rolled oats until they form a fine flour-like consistency. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth.
Add the mashed banana, unsweetened applesauce, coconut oil, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the oat flour, stirring until well combined.
Sift in the whole wheat flour and baking powder, and mix until a soft dough forms.
Scoop out small portions of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into oval-shaped cookies or logs, perfect for a baby to grip.
Place the shaped cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes or until the cookies are firm and light golden brown. Avoid overbaking to keep them soft.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for long-term storage.
