Sugar-Free Baby Biscuits

A result of some fiddling and experimenting in the kitchen, these are extremely delicious and very useful for hungry healthy babies!

3 small/2 large eating apples

4 dates

3oz/75g butter

1 egg

6oz/150g plain flour (wholemeal, white or a mix)
1oz/25g oats
0.25 tsp baking powder

0.25tsp ground cinnamon
1tsp ground ginger

Peel, core and chop the apples, place in a pan with the dates and a teaspoon of water and simmer for ten minutes.  Blend until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.

Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4/180C.

Beat the apple paste and butter together, then beat in the egg.

Add the dry ingredients and work in with a wooden spoon.

Roll out to 3-5mm thick and cut shapes, or alternatively make flattened balls or fingers.

Bake 10-12 minutes until golden.

They went down extremely well with a peckish teething baby!

I had to hide the tin in the end...
