Healthier Cookies For Kids

Written by Kathrin (Leave a Comment)

These healthier cookies for kids (and adults) are simply delicious. You bake the vegan cookies without eggs, butter and sugar!

Hello moms, dads and other relatives. This post is especially for you!

It was time again to develop new healthy childrens' cookies. These cookies without sugar, egg, butter and milk are the result. They are really fruity, soft and crunchy at the same time.

Taste and Occasion

Our little one has had a hearty appetite from birth 😉 … And when I have time, I rather make him homemade children's cookies, granola bars or oatmeal cookies instead of giving him store-bought ones from the supermarket. When it's homemade I know what's in it, and most importantly: I can modify my kids' cookie recipes.

The baby cookies are, of course, also perfect for moms and dads 😉 . For us, I call them then simply nutritious clean eating cookies. In the recipe, I have oriented myself, among other things, on my nibble rolls and the spelt sticks. The breakfast cookies are made with whole wheat flour, 5-grain flakes, oat milk, coconut oil or canola oil, and fruit in the form of apple shavings and dried fruit.

With a few mini changes, they are also the perfect baby cookies for those of complementary feeding age and up. Like my 2-ingredient oatmeal cookies, they don't get crunchy like regular cookies but stay relatively soft. Also, store them in a dry place and don't keep them too long. However, they freeze well and defrost quickly at room temperature.

Ingredients

In the homemade childrens' cookies recipe, I ensured that the ingredients were low in allergens and nutritious. The fact that the children's cookies are vegan without butter, milk and egg is not because I advocate vegan toddler nutrition. But at that age, some still have cow's milk or egg intolerances, which sometimes makes shared snacks among little friends difficult.

Before the criticism comes up again and again that the sugar-free children's cookies are not without sugar at all, because there is fructose in apples and apricots: This is, of course, true in the strict sense. Nevertheless, I call them sugar-free cookies because they do not contain any added natural or artificial sweeteners. And if you really want to or should do entirely without any (fruit) sugar, you have to bake savory. In my opinion, there is no other way. I hope you understand what I mean….

How To Make The Healthier Cookies For Kids

Let's get started! First of all, sprinkle grated apples with lemon juice, chop the apricots very finely and add them. Now it's time to preheat the oven to 360°F/ to 180°C.

Then, mix milk and oil and put the flour, flakes, salt (and possibly spices) in a bowl. Quickly stir in the fruit and the milk-oil mixture (this also works with a simple dough scraper). Attention: The dough should be rather moist. If it is extremely wet, you can add little bit flour.

Recipe Recommendation

Easy Sugar-free Oatmeal Cookies

These delicious and healthy sugar-free oatmeal cookies taste great in a wide variety of ways: plain or jazzed up with peanut butter or dried fruit, cinnamon or vanilla.

Finally, form small balls with your hands, place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper and flatten the balls into cookies. The thinner the dough, the crispier the cookies will be. Bake your healthier kids' cookies for about 20 minutes. They tend to stay soft.

Top Tip

For our little one, I prefer to bake the childrens' cookies with whole wheat or spelt flour or type 1050 flour; I use a 5-grain mix with sunflower seeds and mix coconut oil with canola oil.

Variations

You can also use the recipe to make delicious apple-oatmeal cookies for babies if you replace the kernel mix with tender oatmeal. Rapeseed oil is, anyway, the most suitable oil at the complementary feeding age. Of course, you can also refine the clean eating cookies with other prunes, cinnamon, cocoa nibs or the like.
