Healthy cookie with just oats and banana. Get toddler friendly recipe.oatmeal banana cookie is a healthy mid- morning/evening snacks
Now a days my picky eater (my son Vishvak) drives me crazy. Whatever I give him its a big noooo. If I give him food in plate that's the last thing he wants to taste, but if he see anything in carpet, he gets super excited to taste it. If This is the story with food, fruits oh mannnnn. Though eating fruits directly is always best, at times I feel it's better if he tastes something in a different form instead of rejecting it fully. Decided to give fruits in some other form, so far have succeeded with muffin and pudding (Recipe coming soon).
I was searching for the toddler friendly recipes and got inspired from Wholesomebabyfoods. Good thing about banana cookie is no fancy ingredients, its super easy and most importantly even we liked it

Notes
Spices like Cinnamon, nutmeg can be added
I didn't add sugar as it was sweet because of banana. Sugar can be added if you feel so
If you are using old fashioned oats coarsely pulse it once
Watch on eye after 13 minutes to avoid over cooking
Can mash and add bananas
If you don't like raw oats flavour you can saute the oats for 3-4 minutes and add it
Can pulse the oats and add it

Wow, what a nice idea of adding bananas.Healthy and tasty.

Thanku Durga:-)
Awesome recipe! I love stuff like this. Presumably it's good for grown-ups as well, because I can easily see the recipe being adapted using different types of fruit. I'd rather make my own oatcakes than buy them from Sainsburys, so thanks for this. I'll give them a go. What could possibly go wrong? 😉
That's cool:-) thanku
looks yummy and simple to make 🙂
