Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup water (or more as needed)
1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix whole wheat flour, applesauce, water, and melted coconut oil until a stiff dough forms. If too dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time.
Knead dough on a floured surface for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Use a small cookie cutter (about 2 inches) to cut out shapes, or simply cut into rectangles.
Place biscuits on prepared baking sheet. Prick each biscuit several times with a fork to prevent puffing.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and firm. Cool completely on a wire rack. Biscuits will harden as they cool.
Tips
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Always supervise baby while eating and discard any broken pieces.
For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of vanilla extract.
If biscuits are not hard enough after cooling, return to oven at 200°F for 10-15 minutes.
