Teething can be a hard time for your little one, delicious and easy to prepare Teetha® Treat recipes are designed to help relieve those sore gums
Teething Biscuits
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of oats (dry)
- 1 medium banana
- 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
- Add ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract, if your little one likes a little more flavour to their treats
Method:
- Pop the oats into a blender until you have a fine powder.
- Add the banana and coconut oil and puree until the mixture becomes like dough.
- Roll the dough out, cut into 12 little rectangles – make them long and thin so your little one can get hold them easily!
- Bake the biscuits at 350 degrees for 10 minutes then turn them for another 5-10 minutes so that the edges turn golden, but are not too crunchy.
- Pop them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge or freezer for the next time an unexpected tooth pops through.

- 1 cup of cooked chickpeas
- ¼ clove of garlic (we don’t want to overpower your little one’s taste buds!)

Method:
- Place all the ingredients into a blender until smooth - you may have to scrape the hummus back down from the sides and repeat until you have blended everything.

- Cut the cucumber into small strips and place in a zip lock bag and freeze overnight before giving to your teething tot to nibble on!
