My little guy is almost 10 months old and finally cutting his first tooth. I’ve been cautious about introducing foods that may trigger an allergy and hadn’t found a teething product with ingredients I liked. And making foods from scratch is always healthier so I whipped up a test batch and my very picky eater loved them!
Spices are optional and you can add more or less of any of the listed.
Ingredients
- 2 cups brown rice flour
- 1/2 cup millet flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 4 Tablespoons unsweetened applesauce or apple baby food
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon cloves
- dash of nutmeg
Directions
- Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees
- Place parchment paper on baking sheet
- Combine all ingredients until moist–may need to add a few more teaspoons of maple syrup. Mix will be grainy and not stick together well
- Dump mix onto a Silpat or other non-stick surface and combine mix further by hand
- Mold 2-3 tablespoons of mix into the size sticks you’d like-they should be very dense
- Cut off sides to make sticks a little cleaner looking, but not necessary
- Place pieces on prepared baking sheet
- Bake for 35-40 minutes on top rack
- Turn off oven and let cool in oven for an hour
- Store in air-tight container for up to 2 weeks or place in freezer.
