This weekend we had a go at adapting our usual flapjack recipe, making a yoghurt, apricot and banana version and we also came up with these cookies. Now these are definitely cookies and not biscuits. There is no crunch to them, they are soft and chewy, which makes them perfect for babies and toddlers. They have no added sugar the sweetness comes from the fruit and apple sauce and no added fat either. The oats provide a wholegrain form of carbohydrate that will keep your little ones and you going through the afternoon.
To “adult” these up I would add some nuts and seeds for added crunch and serve with a cuppa. Have a play and let me know what you come up with.
Thank you for the lovely recipe 🙂 I made these with my 17 month old a little while ago, and he LOVED them (I think he enjoyed making them almost as much as he enjoyed eating them)!
Oh I am SO pleased to read your comment Adele 🙂 thankyou for taking the time to leave me a comment.
This looks perfect as a quick snack for kids on the go. I wouldn’t mid these with a cuppa too x
Oh yummy! WOuld love to try this out x
These look delicious and easy to make too x x
They look delicious
These look lovely! Healthy without seeming too healthy to put the kids off- if you know what i mean!
These look really delicious and I love the fact that they’re sugar-free and healthy. I’ll be making these with my kids.
They look amazingly nice for something so healthy – yum!
These look lovely and you could daily substitute the raisins to vary the recipe and keep your toddler interested. I would love these with cranberries so I’ll be giving these a try. Thanks
Great idea! We made cranberry and orange flapjacks recently which went down a storm.
They look delicious
Great mummy snack too! These sound delicious 🙂
Must admit to eating quite a few of them myself 😉
Oh these sound so good!
I love this recipe. Some of my readers cannot have sugar and might like this. You could substitute gluten free oats and soya cream, rice cream or oatly cream for the yoghurt (or a coconut equivalent I guess) to make it free from so many foods. I would love you to guest post this for me, or allow me to repost an excerpt with a link to here, all credited to you?
Hi Kate, yes this could easily be made dairy and gluten free (I have lots of other free from recipes on my blog too). Very happy to guest post it, just drop me an email ([email protected]).
I really want some of these right now! I’m going to pin it so I can make these with my girls 🙂
ooh yum, i’ll be making these!
These look really good, i have just favourited the recipe as they are my kind od make. Easy and tasty.
These looks scrummy, I love flapjacks, I am going to bookmark this and have a go making some xxx
Oh, these sound yummy! I’m guessing the apple sauce is just the kind you buy in the condiment aisle? Or is it something else??
Either that or if you want it fully sugar free you can get it in the baby food aisle or we make it in the summer from the apple glut 😉
Yes either apple sauce as in that with pork or pureed apple from the baby section of supermarket.
They look great and I am trying to find recipes for snacks for Baby so this is perfect! But what is apple sauce – just like you have with pork? x
These look utterly divine – I’m not sure I’d want to share many though 🙂
Oh they sound delicious. perfect fort an after school snack next week
They sound delicious, would never have thought of putting banana in to cookie dough!
They look super delicious and healthy! Great snack at lunchtime 🙂
they look yummy. If they’re chewy it’s even better for me
These look utterly scrumptious. J would love them. x
These look very tasty and pretty easy to make. I think my son would enjoy making them with me too.
Yummy! They look delicious. I am always on the lookout for healthy snacks for my toddler. Have bookmarked this to try, thanks!
They look delicious! I would gladly eat them – not so sure I’d be willing to share many with the kids ;D
