Sugar Free Flapjacks for Baby Led Weaning - My Fussy Eater | Easy Family Recipes (2)

Weaning Recipes

For months I’ve been wanting to post morebaby friendly and weaning recipes and I am so pleased that I have FINALLY got round to my first one!

My little man is now 13 months old, so a little past the weaning stage. But with only 5 teeth there are still lots of things that he struggles to eat.

I alsotry to keep his diet as low in sugar and salt as possible and so I still find myself making lots of food specifically for him. So my first recipe just for babies is going to be these Sugar Free Flapjacks (or Oat Bars).

Snacks

My little man wasn’t much of an eater until a couple of months ago. It used to be a missionto get him to eat more than a couple of morsels of food at a time but recently he has turned into an eating machine.

Some days he eats so much that I struggle to come up with varied and interesting snacks for him.

Those boxes of soft oat bars are handy in these kind of situations but they can work out expensive for what essentially is a few handfuls of oats so I decided to make my own.

Ingredients

My flapjacks are sugar freeand also contain no honey, meaning that they are suitable for babies under 1 year. They are naturally sweetened with bananas, desiccated coconut and dates and are soft enough for little mouths to manage.

Storage Instructions

The flapjacks are best eaten within 24 hours or they will start to dry out. However the best thing to do is to freeze them. Wrap each one in individual parchment parchment paper and pop in a freezer bag or a box. They will defrost in 30 minutes or less so are perfecting for throwing into your changing bag ready to have on hand for snack time.

I’m really excited to be posting more baby and weaning recipes. Are they any baby friendly recipes in particular that you would like to see? Just drop me a message in the comments below!
