These soft and wholesome Baby’s First Soft Oat Cookies are the perfect cookie for little ones starting solids.

Made with Bellamy’s Organic Apple & Fig Oatmeal and Baby Porridge, these naturally sweet cookies have a very soft texture and are packed with gentle flavours and nourishing ingredients.

They’re soft enough for babies to explore and make a great teething snack or are perfect for Easter baskets or as a special snack for babies at playdates and family gatherings.


Ingredients (makes 16 small cookies Age group: 6 months+)

  • 1 pouch (120g) Bellamy's Organic Baby Porridge
  • 1 cup (100g) Bellamy's Organic Baby Porridge
  • 1 ripe banana (130g), mashed
  • 1 egg yolk (18g) (if egg has been introduced)
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup (30g) whole wheat flour (or brown rice flour for a gluten-free option)
  • 1⁄4 tsp (0.5g) cinnamon (optional, if introduced)

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix the mashed banana with the Bellamy's Organic Apple & Fig Oatmeal pouch.
  3. Gradually stir in the Bellamy's Organic Baby Porridge powder until combined.
  4. Add the egg yolk and melted coconut oil, mixing well.
  5. Fold in the flour and cinnamon (if using) until the mixture comes together.
  6. Shape the mixture into small, flat cookies by first using a spoon to scoop out portions of batter. Then, with lightly oiled hands (to prevent sticking), gently flatten each portion with your palm and place on the prepared tray.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are firm but still soft.
  8. Allow to cool completely before serving.
  9. For younger babies (6-8 months): Crumble the cookie into small pieces and mix with natural yoghurt or mashed fruit. For older babies (8-12 months): Serve as a soft finger food alongside fresh fruit or a milk feed.

With wholesome ingredients like banana, baby porridge, and a touch of cinnamon, good for their tiny little tummies and perfect for their little hands. Easy to make and naturally delicious, they’re a lovely way to share snack time together.

  • Thanks for this simple recipe.

    Love that this uses up ‘Bellamy’s Organic Baby Porridge’ and every day ingredients.

    I have majority of these ingredients at home and am keen to make a trial batch for me to taste test.

    Then can experiment on some flavours, aswell as dipping cookie in yoghurt or sneaky chocolate for me time treat!

  • These translate very well to healthy toddler snacks as well! I simply swapped the porridge for quick oats. I also did half the batch with saltanas! Next time I’ll try frozen raspberries and decicated coconut. If my feeling indulgent, I’ll add white chocolate chips. Such a versatile base to work from! Great recipe!

  • What a quick and easy recipe I will make these for my grandson as those store bought ones are full of the unknown and not particularly healthy either

  • Thank you for posting this recipe! I’ll be sure to try this for my little one. He’s always so interested when I have biscuits, and this will be a safe way for him to try them. They sound like they are really nutritious as well, I’ll probably end up eating the batch haha!

  • Soft and simple – I’m pretty sure I’d eat them all too!!

  • I’ve got to admit that although this is designed for babies, I’d feed it to my older kids too. It sounds really tasty, and it’s pretty healthy – who doesn’t like that in a treat food? It’s also such an easy recipe that I could see myself making it often. Thanks.

  • That is a nice simple recipe. It makes me think at the simplest banana oat cookie ever that has just banana and oats and maybe a dash of cinnamon. Less and pure ingredients is good and certainly with little babies you don’t want to introduce all kind of sugary and processed ingredients/foods

  • I really am very happy when I find basic and very good foundation recipe for cookies. I do like this one and will keep it and use it. It is a good recipe to experiment with and try lots of different ingredients. It is always interesting to figure out what little taste buds enjoy eating.

  • This is a fantastic recipe for mums wanting to try with their toddlers. It is a simple recipe that is perfect for little ones. When my daughter was little I use to make something similar for her and she loved them. It is something you can make and keep in the pantry for a while.

  • I really do like making and eating cooking and so does everyone in the family. Cookies with oats and coconut are always so very delicious and they are also so very easy to use in recipes for cookies. I really do like adding cinnamon to the recipe for extra flavour.
