Categories     Snack

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cup oats, dry
1 medium banana
2 tablespoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a blender (or food processor), blend the oats into a very fine powder. (A blender will work best for this job, but a food processor will also work)
  • Add banana and coconut oil (and any vanilla or spices you may be using) to the blender and puree until mixture comes together in a dough.
  • If the dough is very sticky to handle, you can pat a little flour (gluten free or wheat flour) onto the exterior of the ball to make it easier to handle. If the dough is too dry, you can add a little additional coconut oil.
  • Divide the dough into 12 balls or sections. Pat out each ball into a little baton about 4 inches long and 1 to 1 1/2 inches wide, and about 1/4 inch thick. Round the edges of each baton with your fingers so there are no sharp edges.
  • (Alternatively, you can roll the entire dough ball out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick and slice it into 12 rectangles. Round the corners of each rectangle and make the shapes roughly even. I've found that shaping each baton works better for me than rolling and slicing, but you can do what works best for you).
  • Place evenly on a baking sheet so that none of the batons are touching. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Flip and cook another 5-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set but not too crunchy.
  • Allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, in the refrigerator, or the freezer.

BABY TEETHING COOKIES

I clipped this from the newspaper to pass along to my daughter for my teething grandson. I thought I'd post it here for other "teethers". Sounds fairly healthy. Prep time does not include refrigeration time. Cooking time does not include the "oven cooling".

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 20m

Yield 6 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1/2 cup wheat germ
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch salt
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup oil
1 egg
1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed

  • Slowly add the flour mixture to make a stiff dough.
  • Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

  • Cut the dough into 2" x 3/4" bars (no need to separate).
  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven, and re-cut along the same bar lines.
