Banana Rice Teething Biscuits

Posted on by ottawaem

Awhile ago I posted the recipe for Tiny Human #1’s favourite mini muffins.  Not to be left out, below is the recipe I came up with for a teething biscuit for Tiny Human #2.  These also double as dog biscuits for BajanMutt thanks to Tiny Human #2’s love of throwing things.

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup rice flour or baby cereal

1 mushed up banana (or about 4 tablespoons of fruit puree if not a banana fan)

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon vanilla (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350F, Line cookie sheet with parchment paper

Mix flour and baking powder then add in banana, egg and vanilla.  Stir until well combined.

Shape tablespoons of dough into fat sausage shapes or balls and place on parchment paper carefully flattening the shapes.  Depending on the size of your banana you should get over a dozen cookies.

Bake for 30-40 minutes until brown

Mini Muffin Madness

Posted on by ottawaem

Tiny Human #1 loves to help bake, especially mini muffins. Below is the recipe I developed for her favourite banana oatmeal muffins.  A bit denser than regular muffins, they are quick to prepare and are easy to adapt to individual tastes.

Banana Oatmeal Mini-Muffins

yields 12 mini muffins

  • 1 cup quick oats
  • 1 over ripe banana (you can also use 1/2 cup mashed sweet potato, applesauce or other puree)
  • 1 tablespoon 100% peanut butter (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon of jam (optional)
  • small handful of chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 F

Lightly grease mini muffin tin. Mix mashed banana (or other puree) with quick oats.  Add in your choice of additional ingredients.  Mix throughly and spoon into prepared muffin tin.  Bake at 350F for 15 minutes.
