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.

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.
