🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Oats are a whole-grain source of fibre and lasting energy, while ripe banana adds flavour with its natural sweetness and no added sugar. The egg provides protein and the whole wheat flour boosts the fibre. With their soft, holdable texture, these cookies can be an enjoyable snack that supports your child's self-feeding.
Maiyko's note
In the Maiyko kitchen we love simplicity and natural flavours; this sugar-free cookie is a gentle treat your little one can explore with their tiny hands. To reduce choking risk, keep the pieces small, always soften and chop the currants, and stay with your child throughout the meal.
