I was talking to my Holistic Nutritionist about Leda and finger foods. Leda loves puff's!! I do not mind giving them to her, but the 4th ingredient is sugar and there are a few ingredients I cannot pronounce. As long as I can control what I am putting in her tummy, I plan on trying to make her food as healthy as possible. I tried to make my own rice rusks to save money and it went horribly wrong, so I will continue to buy Baby Mum-Mum's, but I was still looking for a healthy snack that was portable and not to messy. Thank goodness for Vanessa and her baby cookie recipe :)
1 cup ground oats (ground regular oats)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup ripe banana (about 3 bananas)
1/4 cup finely shredded vegetable (zucchini, carrot..etc)
1 tsp vanilla
3 tbsp coconut oil (you can sub olive oil)
Mix all ingredients. I usually mash my wet ingredients including veg first. Drop onto a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 15 minutes or so depending on the texture your baby likes. Enjoy
I made them this morning and they were super easy. I used carrots and had some bananas in the freezer that worked great. I tried one of the cookies and it was pretty gross, but Leda loved them!! I gave her one after dinner and she inhaled it! I still had to break it up into little pieces, but they were nice and soft and great for her to practice chewing on. I highly suggest making these healthy cookies for your little one.
