Homemade Baby Teething Biscuits Recipe
My super easy homemade teething biscuits are made with only 4 wholesome ingredients. They are healthier than store-bought, vegan, gluten free, and so easy to make!
Servings: 36 biscuits
Calories: 33kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups rolled oats
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 small ripe bananas or 1 large ripe banana (should be 6oz total in weight)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F or 170 degrees C.
- Place the oats into a food processor and blend to form a fine powder.
- Add all other ingredients and blend until a dough has formed.
- Remove mixture from the food processor and roll in between 2 sheets of parchment paper to approx. ¼ inch thick. (Note: it's really important to get it to ¼ inch thick - if the dough has been rolled thicker than 1/4 inch in thickness it will take longer to cook).
- Remove the top layer of paper and cut into 36 evenly sized sticks.
- Place the sheet of cut teething sticks onto a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes until just cooked through.
- Take the teething sticks out of the oven. Run a knife along the slice marks and separate each teething stick. Bake them again for another 10-15 minutes to make them firm. Make sure to keep an eye on the sticks as they bake, and remove any that are cooking quickly to stop them from burning.
- Remove and cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack. This is important to make sure they don't end up being chewy vs. crunchy!
Notes
- Store teething sticks in a cool dry place in an airtight container. It will keep for a couple of weeks.
- There’s no need to add any sweetener to these homemade teething biscuits as they are naturally sweetened by the ripe bananas.
- Making your own oat flour is simple. Measure out the whole oats and transfer to a food processor or blender. Use rolled oats, do not use steel cut oats. I recommend using a high powered blender for a super fine consistency. If the oats aren't processed to a fine powder, you may have an issue with the dough -- if the oats are still somewhat formed they're less likely to absorb the liquids, resulting in a dry dough.
- Use an oat baby cereal or oat flour if you don't have rolled oats.
- If you'd like, you can use a cookie cutter to achieve different shapes.
- Make sure that your biscuits are baked and hard so that they are not a choking hazard.
- These grain-free teething biscuits are great for young ones as they have allergy friendly ingredients.
