How To Make Oat Cookies For Babies
To make soft oat cookies for babies, start by blitzing whole oats in a NutriBullet until they reach a fine, flour-like consistency.
This step is crucial as it ensures the cookies will have a tender texture, perfect for little mouths.
Mix the ground oats with the strawberries and cream as a natural sweetener and binder, then add a pinch of cinnamon for flavour if you wanted to.
Shape the mixture into small, flat cookies and bake at a low temperature until they are lightly golden.
This method results in delicious, soft cookies that are gentle and easy for babies to chew.
Are Oats Ok For Babies
Oats are generally a suitable and nutritious option for babies practising baby-led weaning. They provide essential nutrients such as fibre, iron, and vitamins that support a growing child’s development.
When introducing oats, it is important to prepare them in a texture that is manageable for the baby, such as soft, cooked oats or oat porridge without added sugars or salt.
Whole oats can be offered in the form of oatcakes which are like a chewy cookie or pancakes, ensuring they are soft enough to gum.
Always monitor for any allergic reactions when trying a new food and consult with a healthcare professional if there are concerns about specific dietary needs or intolerances.
Ingredient information
Oats - I have used rolled oats for this perfect spring cookie. Oats are a great base for this recipe and many other baby-led weaning recipes such as a flapjack or pancakes.
Strawberries - I have used real fresh strawberries for this recipe, these are so delicious and sweet the perfect berry for this recipe the perfect solution for making this a yummy cookie.
Double Cream - I have used double cream/heavy cream for this recipe. Such a delicious addition and really does add creaminess to the cookie recipe.

This is such an easy recipe and makes for the perfect cookie. The cookies would be great served with more chopped fresh fruit such as strawberries, blueberries or raspberries.
You can serve the cookies on their own as a stand alone snack, spread with peanut butter or cream cheese.
You could sprinkle the top of each cookie with freeze-dried strawberries for an extra yummy strawberry hit.
The cookies could be a great addition to make on Valentine’s day or for a baby shower (not just for babies.

All you will need to do is store the sweet cookies in an airtight container or a freezer-safe container or even tightly wrapped plastic wrap and keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. Just make sure the cookies are at room temperature before packaging up.
You can also store the cookies in the freezer in the same way for up to 3 months.
Store the cookies in the freezer raw:
All you will need to do is place the raw delicious cookies in an airtight container spaced out in the container in a single layer, you will need a large one or you can place on the baking tray wrapped in plastic wrap if you have enough room.
When you decide to cook the delicious cookies from frozen you will need to cook an extra 5 minutes or so.
Equipment used to help with this recipe
Large mixing bowl - Definitely choose a stainless steel one - they are lighter than the stone or glass ones and very easy to clean.
Baking tray - I have chosen to use a non-stick and BPA free baking sheet - they are easy to clean and, if you buy more than one, easily stackable and easily stored.
Nutri bullet - I have found a blender to be an invaluable tool in the preparation of many of my baby led weaning recipes.
