Sweet Potato Cookies For Babies
Edit this recipeDelight your baby with soft, nutritious Sweet Potato Cookies made from mashed sweet potatoes, ripe bananas, chia seeds, oats, flour, and cinnamon! Perfect for tiny taste buds.
Ingredients
- 250g sweet potato (cooked)
- 100g banana
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- 2 Tbsp water
- 1 cup oats
- 1/4 cup plain flour
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- If your sweet potato is not cooked then start by peeling it, and cutting into chunks, pop into a pot with water and cook/boil until the sweet potato is soft. Drain, then leave to sit in the warm pot for a minute or two, this allows a little extra water to evaporate
- While the sweet potato cooks, pop the chia seeds into the water and leave to stand for 10-15 minutes (they should begin to gel in this time)
- Add the banana to the sweet potato (I do this in the pot I cooked the sweet potato to cut down on dishes)
- Mash the banana and sweet potato together
- Stir through the soaked chia seeds
- Add the oats, flour, and cinnamon, mix well. This should form a cookie dough with a texture a little like playdough
- Use a tablespoon to scoop the mixture, then roll into balls. I find damp hands is a good idea with this mix, (I get 20 tablespoons from this recipe), place the balls on a lined baking tray
- Wet a fork, and give each ball a light squish with the fork
- Bake at 180 degrees celsius (approx 360 F) for 20-25 mins, allow to cool
