Little Leni Kravitz doesn't want to eat. She's 8 months old and says no, she wants to breastfeed . Pumpkin, carrot, apple, pear, banana. She's not interested. A week ago, she started showing a fascination with cookies . She crumbles them with her mouth and, little by little, eats them.
A kick to Mom Paulina's ego. At 8 months old, you're going to eat packaged food instead of zucchini, honey ? I expected this kind of thing for adolescence. Your mom's a food plugger, Leni. And she's been around Hippyland . So if the idea is to eat cookies, you're going to eat cookies. Of course. Babies don't get contradicted because they know more than anyone.
But Mama Mona with a rubbery banana... That's where I looked for these baby biscuits . According to their creator, they're called teething biscuits. oatmeal biscuits can be too hard, but these have the perfect texture for babies to bite: they're slightly firm, they have fun biting them, but they end up breaking them apart to eat them.
The flavor will be bland for us or for an older child. But it's ideal for a baby's palate, who is just beginning to explore the world of flavors. These baby cookies are also healthy, nutritious, and soft. And the hippies let me use them even though I didn't give you a Mapuche .
Ingredients
for a good jar of cookies
- 1/4 cup of milk (can also be almond milk, breast milk, or formula)
- 1 egg yolk (the white can cause allergies)
- 1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp natural vanilla essence
- 1 cup of whole wheat flour (can also be rice or spelt)
- 2 tbsp. rolled oats
- 1 tsp. whole sugar
- 1 pinch of cinnamon
Note : According to the recipe, these are for babies 8 months and older. Consult your pediatrician if you have questions about any of the ingredients.
Baby Cookie Recipe
sanitas, sanitas
- Beat the yolk with the milk and the teaspoon of sugar .
- Add the oil and vanilla . Mix everything well.
- Add the dry ingredients: oats , flour , and cinnamon . A soft dough will form. 4. Place in the refrigerator for half an hour.
- Roll out the dough with a stick, making sure it's not too thin. Cut with a knife or cookie cutter. I shaped them into rectangles , which I find easier for the baby to grasp. I made them small because she still wastes too much (drops, crumbles, etc.), so this way I change the cookie often if she needs it, and I don't waste so many.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes over medium . They can be stored in a jar for at least 10 days.
And here are my baby cookies
Source : I got the recipe from Gabriela Saddakni's blog, which I recommend for those looking for healthy recipes for children.
They came out super hard for the baby
I make them all the time, but I also add homemade peanut butter (unsalted peanuts in the food processor for a few minutes, and that's it), and sometimes I add shredded coconut. They never fail; my daughter loves them; she wakes up every day crying "Tita, Tita!"
The bad thing about this recipe is that it contains sugar, even if it's just a tiny amount. Babies shouldn't try it. I was looking for a recipe that didn't contain ANY sugar, but this one doesn't pass the test.
Can I use cornstarch instead of whole wheat flour???
What is rolled oats? Crushed oats?
My 7-month-old baby hasn't had eggs yet. Can I make them without them? She's allergic to milk protein, and maybe something else.
Thank you
Delicious cookies!! But mommies, don't worry if the cookies don't have any flavor or sugar. Babies don't understand flavors and sweetness yet. For many babies, they'll be delicious. If your baby doesn't like these cookies, it could be simply because they're in a bad mood or a lack of sugar or flavor. It's even better if you don't add sugar. Babies don't need sugar.
I made them and with the same dough I added herbs to some, grated cheese to others, and coconut to others so when we take them out there is a different one every time...
To sweeten, you can use raisin or date honey. It's homemade and suitable for babies from the 6th/7th month.
Baby cereal, a jar of baby fruit, 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, whole wheat flour, and a little water.
Hello! How long can they be stored in the glass jar? How long do they last?
Hello!! I have a question: Can I substitute whole wheat flour for oat bran? Thanks (:
I made them and I liked the texture but not the flavor… I mean, I didn't taste anything… my baby doesn't like them at all… I would add grated apple and cinnamon… or something like that to enhance them?
Hi! I found this recipe and made the cookies for my baby yesterday. Is it okay if they're soft? I've never used whole wheat flour before, and they were bland to me! She ate one last night, and she was so happy.
No honey for babies. I'm not sure when they can start using it, but it's definitely not until they're a year old. Great website!
I love your monologues! And the recipes too! My baby is in the same boat, so I'm going to try this recipe. For now, I've been tricking him with mixed-vegetable muffins, but I want to change things up a bit to see if he'll get the hang of food plugging.
Hello! I'd like to try the cookies without the sugar. What could I substitute it with? Some fruit? I don't know if the cookie would be good.
Super easy recipe, I'll make it today... let's see what my almost 9-month-old daughter likes 🙂 these will be her first cookies, thanks!
Are they crispy? I've made them sugar-free with half a cup of carob flour and yogurt instead of milk, and they've turned out chewy and elastic... Maybe I was over-improvising!?
I'm preparing them today, they look delicious
Very rich
