Teething Biscuits, Not Just for Babies

I made teething biscuits for Graham using a recipe online. Gwen loved them and they went fast, so I went to make another batch but couldn't find the recipe, and was out of the baby cereal it called for anyway. Wholesome Baby has a bunch of different recipes, but none fit my criteria (no sugar added, no eggs)- so I made up my own recipe. Gwen enjoyed helping to roll out the dough and she picked out a star shape and a dinosaur shape- the points are great for little teeth (or gums) to gnaw on- but watch out, they sometimes break off in little mouths so don't leave teething baby unattended. And as an endorsement, at our playdate this morning all four toddlers gobbled up a biscuit each, with one asking for seconds. Teething biscuits, not just for babies anymore!

Ambrosia’s Star Teething Biscuit

2 cups whole wheat flour

½ cup wheat germ

½ cup oat bran

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon baking powder

1 cup pureed banana (3 small bananas)

1 cup unfiltered apple juice

½ cup vegetable oil

½ teaspoon vanilla

Mix together dry ingredients. Mix together wet ingredients. Add wet ingredients to dry and stir well. The dough will be wet. Add extra flour as needed until dough can be formed into a ball in center of bowl. Refrigerate at least one hour. Roll out dough, cut into shapes. Bake 350 for 40 minutes. For a crispier biscuit, try baking at a lower temperature for a longer period of time. Let cool completely and store in an airtight container.
