These spiced gingerbread biscuits are baby friendly and the perfect addition to the holidays to keep everyone included in the festivities. 

Your traditional gingerbread is not super baby friendly, firstly because of how hard they are, but also the amount of added sugar. This is why we have made this baby friendly version of a gingerbread biscuit!

Age Recommendation - suitable from around 8 months without the icing.

What you need:

  • 1.5 cups of almond meal 
  • 1 banana (ripe and mashed)
  • 1-2 tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp all spice 
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ cup of milk 
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ cup of butter (55g)

Optional Icing*:

  • ½ cup of icing sugar

What to do: 

  • Preheat oven to 160 degrees Celsius
  • Line a baking tray with baking paper
  • Melt butter and mix in your milk and mashed banana
  • Add your dry ingredients and mix all together
  • Place your dough between two layers of baking paper. Roll out between the two layers and then pop in the fridge for 30 minutes. 
  • Once chilled take off one layer of paper and lightly dust with flour
  • Cut out your gingerbread cookie shapes using your cookie cutters 
  • Place on the baking tray

*For little ones younger than 24 months, we would suggest leaving the icing out.
