Using a damp spoon, place small, flat mounds on the tray and gently press them down with a finger to thin them.

🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Oats can help add slow-releasing carbohydrates and fibre to your child's snack. Ripe banana can offer natural sweetness and potassium without any added sugar. Grated apple can add moisture and a light fruity aroma.
Maiyko's note
These soft cookies can be a gentle snack your child can hold and eat on their own. Keep the cookies flat and soft, adjust the size to your child's chewing ability, and always serve under supervision.
