Cacao, banana and oat biscuits
Dairy free, Egg free, Nut free, Vegetarian
About the recipe
This one’s for the chocolate lovers—big and small! These soft and chewy biscuits combine the natural sweetness of ripe banana with the rich, earthy flavour of cacao. Lightly sweetened with honey and free from nuts and dairy, they make a great lunchbox addition or after-kindy snack you can feel good about.
The oats and seeds give them a boost of fibre and healthy fats, while the banana adds natural moisture and makes the texture perfect for little mouths still learning to chew. These biscuits are easy to whip up, freezer-friendly, and a great recipe to get the kids involved in the kitchen too. Because snacks don’t have to be complicated to be nourishing.
Age Appropriate: 2+ (due to cacao)
Serves: Makes about 12–15 biscuits
Serving Suggestions:
Pop one into your toddler’s lunchbox, serve with a smear of nut butter or yoghurt on the side, or pair with fruit for a balanced morning tea. These are also great for busy parents to snack on with a cuppa!
Storage:
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days, in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. They hold up well in lunchboxes and make a great grab-and-go snack.
