Serves: 18-22
Ingredients
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- ⅓ cup coconut oil, melted (I used the microwave)
- 2 ripe bananas
- 6 pitted dates
- 3 tbsp. breastmilk or formula (apple juice or orange juice can be substituted if the child is old enough and can tolerate it)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray or use a silicone mini muffin pan. Set aside.
- Add oats to a food processor and process to break them down into more of an oat flour. Pour processed oats into a medium mixing bowl.
- Add coconut oil, bananas, dates and liquid to the food processor and pulse to create a thick paste. Add mixture to bowl with the processed oats.
- Stir to combine.
- Spoon mixture into mini muffin pan.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool.
Notes
These bites can be store in an airtight container for a couple of days. They will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.
They also freeze beautifully and will thaw out in less than 30 minutes. Another option is to pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds.
I have also made these without processing the oats. They make the bites have more texture and are good for older babies.
Add ⅓ cup peanut butter for another variation. (only if baby has been exposed to peanuts and does not show an allergy).
