Eating: Baking With Infant Cereal

After a long month of Mr. Noodle deciding he is "too cool" for infant cereal, I decided to google recipes that can be made with this super nutrient-rich floury substance. I found a couple of cool links:

Bloggin About Babies- Recipes Using Infant Cereal

That site sent me to the Wholesome Baby Foods Blog with a list of recipes.

From there I found this banana bread stick recipe. And I substituted half the regular flour with infant cereal. It is in the oven so no rating/update/review so far. Ingredients:

1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
1 cup mashed banana
1 3/4 cups flour (white, whole wheat, or a combination)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda


Directions:

Combine ingredients and stir only until smooth. Pour into a greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 1 hour or until firmly set.

Cool, remove from pan, and cut into sticks. Spread sticks out on a cookie sheet and bake at 150 degrees F for 1 hour or longer until the sticks are hard and crunchy. Store in a tightly covered container. Adapted from Feed Me I'm Yours by Vicki Lansky **Freezes Well**
