Nutrient-dense teething biscuits/cookies

We had a lot of luck with these cookies at our house. Baby Mum-Mums were a big hit with our 7 month old, but I didn't like that they didn't have much substance or nutrients.

I played around with a few recipes and found the combination we liked best. With bated breath, I let our curious baby give them the taste test (he's been picky about textures and flavors). He really likes them!

So here's the recipe:

Homemade Teething Cookies

1 ripe banana mashed (or other puree)
2 T applesauce (or oil)
3 Tbl water
1 cup flour
1/2 cup dry infant rice cereal
1/2 cup dry oatmeal cereal
2 tsp cinnamon


Mix banana, applesauce, and water. Sift remaining ingredients and add. Dough will be stiff. Roll out and cut with cute cookie cutters. Bake on a greased cookie sheet or on parchment paper. 425 degrees for 15 minutes.
