Baby Teething Biscuits
Soft, homemade baby teething biscuits with a mild sweetness and gentle texture, perfect for little gums. Easy to prepare and ideal for babies learning to chew.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Break eggs into a bowl and stir until creamy.
- Add sugar and continue to stir.
- Gradually add enough flour to make a stiff dough.
- Roll out the dough between 2 sheets of lightly floured wax paper to about 3/4-inch thickness.
- Cut into round shapes.
- Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
- Let stand overnight (10 to 12 hours).
- Bake at 325°F until browned and hard.
Tips & Substitutions
For a healthier alternative, you can substitute half of the sugar with mashed ripe bananas or unsweetened applesauce. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour incrementally until you achieve the desired consistency. Remember to roll out between wax paper to avoid sticking. Allow the biscuits to cool completely before serving to ensure they harden properly.
Serving Suggestions
These baby teething biscuits can be served as a standalone snack or paired with fresh fruit slices for added nutrition. They are great for little ones to gnaw on, helping soothe sore gums. For a fun twist, consider serving them alongside a dollop of yogurt for dipping, making them more enjoyable for older infants or toddlers.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover teething biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To keep them fresh longer, you can refrigerate them, but allow them to come to room temperature before serving. Reheating is not necessary, as they are meant to be hard and crunchy for teething infants.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, whole wheat flour can be used to add more fiber and nutrients. However, it may result in a denser biscuit, so you might need to adjust the liquid content slightly to maintain the dough's consistency.
How long will these biscuits last?
If stored properly in an airtight container, the teething biscuits can last up to one week at room temperature. If you want them to last longer, consider refrigerating them for up to two weeks.
Can I add flavors or spices to the biscuits?
Absolutely! You can incorporate cinnamon, vanilla extract, or even a pinch of nutmeg for added flavor. Just be cautious with spices, as some babies may have sensitivities, and always introduce new ingredients gradually.
