Baby Cereal Cookies for Kids (Sugar Free, Gluten Free, Egg Free)

This recipe for baby cereal cookies was adapted from the Oats and Naner Drops Teething Cookies recipe on Wholesomebabyfood.com. I've been making that recipe for a few years, and Baby T gobbles them up. I usually add a little bit of molasses and grind my own oats in the blender. Sometimes I replace a cup of the oats with a cup of whole wheat flour, but today, I decided to replace the oats and oat flour with baby cereal.

It made delicious, soft cookies with a gooey center. They were like a cross between cookies and cereal bars. They were so good that when we returned after running some errands, they were gone. Yup, the dog ate them. After Baby T and I had already eaten about half the batch.

Ingredients:

2 c baby rice cereal
1/4 t salt
1/4 t cinnamon
1 t baking powder
2 overripe bananas, mashed
1 t vanilla extract
3 T coconut oil

2 T molasses

1/4 cup (or more) almond milk, cow's milk, juice or water

Directions:

Mix the dry ingredients except for the 1/4 cup of milk, juice or water. Mix the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones. The batter will be thick and dry. Add the almond milk, cow's milk, juice, or water. If it is still too dry, add a little more. Drop by the spoonful onto parchment paper or greased baking sheet. Press the baby cereal cookies down with your hand or the bottom of a glass. Bake 20-25 min at 350. Flip cookies halfway through baking.
