    Recipe Teething Biscuits

  1. Step 1

    Do an internet search for baby teething biscuit recipes. Keep in mind that these are generally hard cracker-like breads that are big enough to fit in a baby's fist but small enough that they can gnaw on them until they decide to throw them across the room or feed them to the dog. Either way, you'll want to look for wheat free, egg free and honey free recipes for babies under a year old.

  2. Step 2

    Try making a homemade teething biscuit by mixing 1 cup quick oats, 1 cup oat flour, 1t baking powder, 1cup over-ripe bananas and 3T melted butter.

  3. Step 3

    Mix the ingredients together in a bowl until you have a thick dough. Consider adding 1t vanilla extract or 1/2t pumpkin pie spice to add flavor to your baby teething biscuits.

  4. Step 4

    Roll out the dough into a 1/2 inch sheet and slice into 2x3 inch homemade teething biscuits.

  5. Step 5

    Roll each baby teething biscuit in your hands to soften the edges before it's cooked. Sharp edges can hurt the baby's mouth.

  6. Step 6

    Place each biscuit on a sheet of parchment paper or on a lightly greased baking sheet. Make sure you space them an inch or so apart for air circulation.

  7. Step 7

    Bake for 12 - 15 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven. Soon you will have delicious homemade teething biscuits for your baby.

  8. Step 8

    Allow each baby teething biscuit to cool for up to an hour before serving.
