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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a blender or food processor, blend the rolled oats until they form a fine flour-like consistency. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth.
Step 4
Add the mashed banana, unsweetened applesauce, coconut oil, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the oat flour, stirring until well combined.
Step 5
Sift in the whole wheat flour and baking powder, and mix until a soft dough forms.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Place the shaped cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
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.
