Biscuits for an 11-month-old baby with no added sugar

Unlike the pastries enjoyed by the older members of the family, biscuits for an 11-month-old baby will be made without added sugar. While sugar is a good source of energy to get through the day, it's important during the weaning process to introduce only simple and complex natural sugars into a baby's diet. Added sugars aren't very good for our health, which is why they're avoided in BLW until the age of 2 or even 3. Biscuit recipes for an 11-month-old are still delicious and full of flavor. They'll delight your baby's taste buds with every bite.

Use seasonal fruit in the preparation of biscuits for an 11-month-old baby

Although added sugars are not recommended during baby-led weaning, biscuits made for an 11-month-old will have a slightly sweet taste. Why is that? Simple natural sugars are found in fruits, among other things. By using seasonal fruits for more flavor, biscuits for an 11-month-old will be naturally sweet. You can also use some natural sweeteners like agave syrup. Once you've tried BLW biscuit recipes, you won't be able to live without them.

What type of flour should I use for biscuits for an 11-month-old baby?

Many biscuit recipes for an 11-month-old baby will require flour. Before discussing which flours are suitable for BLW , it's important to understand that flour is an allergen. It contains gluten, which is a known allergen. Therefore, care must be taken when introducing flour into your baby's diet during the weaning process. Several types of flour are suitable for biscuits for an 11-month-old , including infant flour, gluten-free flour, soy flour, cereal flours, and legume flours.

The different textures of biscuits for an 11-month-old baby

When preparing biscuits for an 11-month-old baby , you'll quickly realize that they won't all have the same texture. Indeed, during baby-led weaning, it's beneficial to introduce your baby to the different textures a food or recipe can have. At the beginning of BLW , biscuits will tend to have a soft texture so they melt in your baby's mouth. Biscuits for an 11-month-old will have a crunchy texture, similar to the snacks enjoyed by the adults in the family. Of course, just because a baby is 11 months old doesn't mean they can no longer enjoy recipes suitable for a 6-month-old.

Starting purees at 4 months and wanting to start BLW at 6 months is perfectly possible. Or perhaps you're wondering how to combine breast milk/infant formula and BLW .
