Baby Teething Crackers Egg Free Dairy Free

Learn how to make an egg-free baby cracker recipe to offer a nutritious snack or baby teething biscuits. These are the easiest to make, have no added sugar, and are so much more nutritious than store-bought baby biscuits.

What Are Baby Crackers?

Baby crackers are small nutritious homemade teething biscuits for babies from 6 months. They are naturally:

Sugar-free sweetened with a natural sweetener like fruit puree, maple syrup, or veggie puree. Gluten-free Egg-free Dairy-free

A baby cracker is also a great finger food for teething babies because they are hard to chew and perfect for relieving teething pain. When sucked on, they melt in your baby’s mouth and provide nourishing protein, fiber, and vitamins. There are also plenty of store-bought baby cracker options made from baby cereals or rice flour if you don’t feel like making your own. But this baby cracker recipe is so easy and healthy that you should definitely give it a go.

Ingredients and Substitutions

You need only a few ingredients that you probably have in the pantry.

Oat Flour – this is basically rolled oats pulsed into flour. Follow my tutorial on how to make oat flour to make yours in less than 1 minute. Rice Flour – a great bland gluten-free flour for babies. You can swap for tapioca or arrowroot flour with a different ratio. See the recipe card below. Baking Powder – feel free to skip for kids under 1 year old. Melted Coconut Pil or vegetable oil, or melted butter. Cinnamon – optional and only for flavor. Note that cinnamon is not safe before 6 months of age. Therefore, as a precaution, I recommend not offering cinnamon before 12 months old. Unsweetened Applesauce or Mashed Bananas – I recommend apple sauce for a crunchier texture. Bananas make the baby teething biscuits softer. Vanilla Extract – for flavor.

How To Make Homemade Teething Biscuits

It’s very easy to make your own baby-led weaning crackers at home.

Teething Biscuit Taste And Texture

These homemade teething biscuits are bland in flavor. They have a cereal cinnamon flavor with a nice crunch. They are difficult to bite, so ensure they are hard enough to soothe babies’ teeth but melt easily in their mouths to be enjoyed and nutritious.

Storage

You can store these baby biscuits for up to one week in a sealed cookie jar at room temperature. Baby crackers freeze very well in zip-lock bags. Thaw them for 30 minutes before offering them to babies.

Allergy Swaps

You can make plenty of easy swaps to this recipe to make it suitable for your baby’s allergies or to match the ingredients in your pantry. For example, you can replace:

Oat flour for all-purpose wheat flour or all-purpose gluten-free flour. Rice flour for arrowroot flour or tapioca flour – jump to the recipe card for conversion. Apple sauce by any fruit puree or veggie puree like sweet potato puree, mashed bananas.

Of course, any swap would impact the taste and texture of your kids crackers.
