We love all things strawberry banana over here, and these little oat bites are no different. Huge hit with my son! Super quick to make and work as a snack or side to a meal 🙂

BABY LED WEANING

This would be a great recipe to serve babies starting at 6 months, once they’ve been safely introduced to the allergens in the recipe. For younger babies, typically it’s best to serve bigger pieces since those are easier for them to hold. Once they develop the pincer grasp (pointer and thumb pinching together), then you can start to give them smaller pieces.

For information on how to safely serve foods to babies depending on their age (plus so much more), I recommend Solid Starts. The app is free and has tons of information!

ALLERGENS

This recipe has oats, so if needed use a GF oat/oat flour.

STORAGE

I stored these on the counter for 4 days, but I think I should have done the fridge to help them last a bit longer. You can freeze for 2-3 months.

TOOLS USED/RECOMMENDED

Parchment paper – I buy precut online because I find dealing with a roll of parchment to be the most annoying thing and it’s just so much easier to have it cut for you! Comes in a variety of sizes. Pro tip – crumple up before lining your pan and it will stay in there much better.

Masher – I like this one because it doesn’t get stuck in the drawer!

    Can’t wait to try these!
    Is there a specific reason you used oat flour? Would whole wheat flour work?
    Did you use quick oats or old fashioned?
    Thanks!

      Hi! I used it just cause it was what I had on hand, but I believe whole wheat flour will sub in just fine! I used costco rolled oats, which I believe are quick.

    Could I substitute the oat flour for self rising flour? If so how much?

    Love all your recipes so far!! Thank you!
