Healthy Drop Cookies- Oaty Banana Bites for Baby

By FamilySprouts

Ingredients

• 2 oz (1/2 cup) all purpose (plain) flour
• 2 oz (1/2 cup) wheat germ
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 6 oz (1 1/2 cups) rolled oats
• 2 oz (1/2 cup) brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1 large, ripe banana, mashed well
• 4 tbsp apple juice

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 deg F (180 deg C).
Mix the flour with the wheat germ in a bowl.
Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour/wheat germ mixture until thoroughly combined.
Stir in the oats, sugar (if using) and the spices.
Next, stir in the mashed banana and apple juice and mix everything together – you should be left with a thick, sticky mixture.
Drop the mixture – one generous teaspoon at a time – on to a greased baking sheet (we get around 20 teaspoons out of this recipe).
Bake in the oven until golden (around 10 minutes).
Best served warm. You can freeze these (if you have any left – we never do!) – but we recommend warming them a little before serving
