Baby homemade snacks – flaxseed banana chewy biscuits

I can't wait to share this post because it's my very first time to make my own baby snacks, plus I just got some curious feedbacks from readers how it's made (last time I published the post by accident). Moving to China has been a challenge to find new recipes and food for my baby boy, imported goods became overpriced and local produce are questionable. That being said, I decided to look up baby snack recipes and try to create homemade bites just as enjoyable as the store bought ones. The first try is a success and I hope there will be more to come :)

Banana has been my son's staple favorite. I am almost positive he's addicted to it. He goes bananas when he just see these yellow long fruits on the fruit plate. As I ran out of snack inventory, I came across this flaxseed banana chewable recipe. The second I saw this I just couldn't wait to give it a try. These biscuits are packed with rich omega-3, protein and potassium. And did I mention it's sugar-free? It's healthy and my baby boy just can't stop munching on them :) within 2 days these were gone.  YES, homemade snacks are the best! 

Ingredients:

All purpose flour 120g
Ground Flaxseed 20g
1 Egg yolk 
Full cream milk (formula or water) 10g
1 Banana (about 60g)

Steps:
  1. Preheat oven 170 °C, line cookie tray with parchment paper
  2. Sift flour and mesh banana, set aside
  3. Add milk, yolk, flaxseed, mesh banana and add flour
  4. Mix all ingredients until combined and become a soft dough (do not over mix or else the biscuits will get tough)
  5. Roll out the dough until 0.3 mm thin or your desired thickness
  6. Use desired cookie cutters cut out different shapes and place them on lined cookie tray
  7. Bake for 18 minutes or until golden brown 
  8. Store in an air tight container, good for up to 4-5 days
