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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Add in the rolled oats, unsweetened applesauce, flour, and cinnamon (if using). Mix until the dough starts to come together.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 9
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.
