If you are thinking of traditional biscuit recipes, I want to point out that these hard in texture more like English biscuits or what we would call hard cookies. So these teething cookies are perfect for baby to rub on her gums. Keep in mind that you should only start to give your baby teething biscuits once solid foods have been introduced into their diet, typically around 6 months of age. Please consult with your child’s pediatrician before starting solids or introducing a teething biscuit for the first time. Never leave baby unattended with baby biscuits as they could present a choking hazard.

Spiced Pumpkin Flax Teething Biscuit Recipe:

All Natural Ingredients For Baby Biscuit Recipe

  • 1 cup baby oatmeal cereal
  • 1 cup light spelt or whole wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons flax meal
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 1⁄3 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 6­-8 tablespoons water

How To Make Teething Biscuits For Baby

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

For this easy recipe, mix all the ingredients in a medium bowl. I measure out the dry ingredients and mix. Then add the wet ingredients. Mix well until a stiff dough forms. Using a rolling pin, roll out on a floured surface until 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 inch thick. Cut into shapes with a cookie cutter or cut into squares.

Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until light brown.

Let homemade teething biscuits cool completely. These teething cookies are actually quite tasty so try not to eat them all yourself!

Substitutions:

Don’t have pumpkin puree? Substitute pumpkin with sweet potatoes. Or 1 mashed ripe banana or 1⁄3 cup apple sauce. Not only do they provide good flavor, these options all offer extra nutritional value as well.

You can make gluten­ free teething biscuits by substituting a gluten ­free flour blend.

Tidbit: Flax seeds are one of the best plant sources of omega­3 fatty acids. Did you know that Omega-3 ranks among the most important essential nutrients out there today?

Tip: Store homemade teaching biscuits for up to 1 week in an airtight container or freeze for up to 3 months.
