This recipe came to me one morning when I was thinking of what to do with a very ripe and lonely old banana in my fruit bowl. Since publishing this baby led weaning peanut butter cookies recipe, it has become one of my most popular blog posts – Mums just love the super simple healthy cookies for babies recipe!

How many calories are in these baby led weaning cookies?
These baby led weaning peanut butter oat cookies are delicious, soft, and healthy. I didn’t add any sugar to sweeten them and they definitely don’t need it. They come in at 73-76 calories per cookie, so they’re also a great addition to a lunchbox as a healthy snack. This recipe makes nine cookies, but you can just double the quantities to make more.

Can you change the ingredients in this cookie recipe?
If you want a sweeter cookie, you can add chocolate chips, blueberries or crushed raspberries to give them an extra kick.
If your baby has an egg allergy you can replace the gg with a flax egg. I haven’t tried this myself (1tbsp flaxmeal + 2.5 tbsp water) for this particular recipe, so do let me know in the comments if it works for you.
Can you freeze these peanut butter cookies for babies?
I have to say I have not attempted it – they are usually all eaten up before I’ve had the opportunity to try! So do let me know in the comments if freezing works for these cookies…and if you do try to freeze them, be sure to let them fully defrost before offering them to your baby.

What do my family think of these baby led weaning peanut butter cookies?
The first time I made these BLW cookies, I let my husband try them before offering to them to Dex. Let’s just say Dex was lucky there were any left for him to have for breakfast!
These cookies are soft on the inside and are extremely moreish!

Baby Led Weaning Peanut Butter Cookies

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C

Never mind the babies I like the sound of these for myself. I am rubbish at eating breakfast and these would be perfect.
Yes they are delicious. My husband ate most of them this morning so i’ll have to whip up another batch for Dex to store in the freezer ๐
Good idea – we’re always left with scabby bananas, just made some banana bread with ours but these cookies would have been perfect! Ahh well, I’ll do them with next weeks leftover banana!
I’d probably eat these myself too! Great recipe ๐ ox
Ooh these sound perfect for my two – although I think we’ll struggle to have any left over bananas haha. Will definitely give them a go ๐ x
These look delicious, not a huge fan of peanut butter but combined in this recipe sounds lovely. Will have to try with my pudding x
these look scrumptious, so much so I think would even eat myself! Great for breakfast

Oh they look nice. You’re making me hungry. Must give them a try.
oh my goodness these look delicious! I’m also looking for new foods to give logan too so we definitely have to try these, last time I gave him a little egg, he had a very slight reaction so should be safe to introduce it soon. These also look so easy, I’m pretty crap in the kitchen but I’d definitely make these! ๐ xx
Wow so easy but look like something my little one would really love too!!

They are great. I added some sultans to them so they are more sweet. I love them, and baby eats them ๐
I just made these with my toddler. They a yummy, thank you for sharing ๐
these were delicious. I also added in some baby cereal for extra iron and nutrition.
I baked these with my 20 month-old granddaughter. She loved stirring it all together and helping to put the cookies on the pan. Sometimes I whip up a batch before I go visit her. Grandma gets to give her a worry free treat and the leftovers make her snack for the rest of the week, which is a help to my daughter. A big win for everyone.
Thank you for your great blog. It was very useful. I am just so glad I came across this.
Nice post!
