“5 INGREDIENT SEED BITES” Great for bubs to nibble on, toddlers, Mum and Dad! It’s very much like a crumbly biscuit consistency. #nutfree #dairyfree #eggfree a great way to introduce seeds into bub’s diet. No hidden nasty preservatives, no salt, no sugar. YOU know exactly what your #babyledweaner is eating.
Ingredients
- 1x cup (150 grams) of mixed seeds (I used pumpkin and sunflower)
- 1.5 cups (130 grams) of oats
- 3/4 cup (80 grams) self-raising flour
- 1 cup (120 grams) coconut oil (room temp or heat up in microwave)
- 1/2 cup (90 grams) of dates
Directions
- Step 1 Soak dates in a bowl of hot water (just cover the dates) – then put aside.
- Step 2 Place seeds, flour and oats into into a blender until combined. Remove from blender and pour into a large bowl. Separately, drain out the water in the dates, and mash the dates up with a fork creating a thick date paste.
- Step 3 In the large bowl of dry ingredients, now add the room temp or heated coconut oil and date paste and massage all ingredients in until you have combined mixture into a big ball.
- Step 4 Prepare a baking tray by rubbing coconut oil on the base and sides, now push the ingredients down evenly onto tray and into the corners.
- Step 5 Place tray into oven for 10-15 minutes on 180 degrees Celsius until golden brown (watch it doesn’t burn!).
- Step 6 Allow to cool for an hour in tray before transferring to the fridge for an hour to set. Then slice up bite size OAT SEED BITES and store in a jar in the a cool dry place.
- Step 7 Note: I store them in the freezer for snacks or even a quick breakfast for baby Lewis, Ava and the family.
Hi. May I know how long does it take to reheat the bites from the freezer? Thanks
I eat them frozen as u can still bite them. For bubs leave out for 30 minutes+ OR you can leave in fridge over night to defrost OR can reheat in microwave or oven. A lot of options. hope that helps x
