If your 19 month old is anything like mine, they love cookies. Not just cookies, but graham crackers, and animal crackers, and ritz crackers, and saltines too. I often worried that my sweet little boy was filling up on empty treats, and wasn't getting enough of what he needed.
This is definitely not a problem anymore. I'm probably not the first mom to figure this out, but I've finally found a way to use up all of my rice cereal, AND get my big guy to eat his fruits and veggies.
That is a win in my book, and I felt like I had to share. Here's a great easy recipe that takes maybe 20 minutes from start to finish.
Enjoy!
Healthy Toddler Cookies
What you'll need:
1 cup rice cereal
1 cup flour
1/3 cup apple sauce
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons water
1 cup rice cereal
1 cup flour
1/3 cup apple sauce
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons water
Mix it all together and flatten on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 425° or until golden brown.
Let cool, and let kids devour.
I love this recipe because it is quick and easy and has no added sugars.
I have also found that you can use any fruit puree, and any type of rice cereal (flavored or not).
You can also cook them a little longer. This makes them a bit crunchier and allows them to aid teething.
Happy Baking!
