With only six ingredients, these Baby Food Cookies are a fun and easy snack for your little one to enjoy. We used Sweet Potato Puree in our version, but any flavor will work! We love to keep a batch of these in the freezer and pop a cookie in the toaster oven if our little ones need a quick and nourishing snack. They’re perfect for on-the-go, too!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Gerber® Grain & Grow Oatmeal Banana Cereal
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
- 4 oz Gerber® Sweet Potato Puree (2 2oz packs)
- 1 egg
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the Gerber® Grain & Grow Oatmeal Banana Cereal, baking powder, and spice until completely combined. Add the Gerber® Sweet Potato Puree, egg and vanilla extract, and stir until the mixture is evenly combined.
- Drop 1 tbsp portions of the cookie mixture onto the lined baking sheet and press down with the back of a spoon to flatten. Bake for 10-12 minutes, checking regularly to avoid burning. If the cookies still appear soft, cook them for another 2 minutes.
- Allow cookies to cool entirely on a wire rack. Make sure to cut the cookies to your little one’s age and stage before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2 days, or freeze for up to 2 weeks.
Gerber pumpkin puree isn’t just a nutritious option for your baby - it can make a delicious sweet & spicy cold foam for grown ups, too! Gerber pumpkin puree is the perfect seasonal base for your homemade pumpkin spice lattes. Make a batch of pumpkin cold foam and use it in your caffeinated treats all week long. PS: you can also enjoy it on hot chocolate, chai lattes, and even pumpkin pie - the possibilities are endless!
Ingredients:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 2oz tub of Gerber(R) 2nd Foods pumpkin
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, plus more for topping
1 cup cold brew coffee
1 tbsp of your favorite pumpkin spice creamer - we used Starbucks® Pumpkin Spice creamer
Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, Gerber pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice until a thick foam forms. You can also use a food processor, blender, or stand mixer if you prefer. You’ll know it’s ready when you lift your whisk out of the cold foam and stiff peaks form that hold their shape.
