Recipe for Unna snack cookies with apple & cinnamon

Ingredients

(about 14 cookies)

• 2 Swedish organic apples
• 2 ripe organic bananas
• 2 organic eggs
• 2 tablespoons organic butter or oil
• 1 tbsp almond butter or other nut butter (can be omitted)
• 2 dl Unna porridge powder (choose the variant that suits your child's age, this recipe uses the 6 month variant)
• 1 tsp organic baking powder
• Flavoring. In the example we have used 1 pinch of salt (not for children under 1 year old), 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon, 0.5 teaspoon cardamom and 1 tsp real vanilla powder.

Do this:

• Set the oven to 175°C.
• Peel, core and coarsely grate the apples.
• Blend or mash the bananas and stir/mix together with eggs and melted butter/oil and almond butter.
• Fold in the dry ingredients and mix well.
• Finally, fold in the grated apples.
• Use an ice cream scoop or spoons and scoop out 12-16 cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Bake in the middle of the oven for 15-20 minutes. Check with a skewer to make sure they are done (the skewer should come out dry).
