Most Awesome Homemade Teething Biscuits Ever!

January 16, 2013 by Laura 27 Comments

I ran across this fabulous homemade teething biscuits recipe on Pinterest (where else?) and decided to give it a shot. I’m so glad I did! It’s very easy to make and Little Baby loved it!

Best of all, it’s nice and hard and does not flake apart while she’s chewing on it like other teething biscuits I’ve tried.

Some people recommended a frozen waffle, but I thought it posed a choking hazard. I found as the waffles thawed chunks would come off, and I was afraid Little Baby would choke. So, waffles were out for us.

Make Your Own Teething Biscuits Instead!

I read through the comments on the original site and learned that some people were having trouble with the biscuit smoking or even catching fire while cooking in the microwave (yikes!) so I proceeded with caution. I

Instead of microwaving for a full 60 seconds I found that zapping it in 15 increments worked just fine for me. I probably cooked it for 2 minutes total, but since microwaves vary you can get a feel for how long it needs to cook by the way it feels.

The homemade teething biscuit will harden up the more you cook it so when it started feeling pretty solid I took it out and let it cool. Then it really got hard, kind of like a biscotti.

In the sample below I used sweet potato & corn baby food (I forgot to add cinnamon). Just think of all the different flavored varieties you can make for your little one!

How old is old enough?

Well, my daughter was about 8 months when I made these for her. I think her teeth were just starting to come in, and she chewed with her gums.

I remember being nervous that my daughter would break off a chunk and choke, but she never had any trouble with them, they always soaked up her slobber (gross! LOL) and broke down easily enough for her to swallow without issue.

As always, just be sure to keep a close eye on your baby. =)

      They are FABULOUS! A little messy, as the slobbery tidbits crust up on baby’s face and clothes, but Elliott sure loves them!

    Thank u ! I’ve been searching everywhere for something that didn’t fall apart! One question do you know how long they would be good for if you were to make a batch to-go?

      Yay, glad this was helpful! I am not sure how long they would be good for though. :-/ I have kept them a day or two in a sealed container but probably wouldn’t make them too far in advance.

          Hey there! I can’t speak to the age and safety of this, but I can tell you my daughter was about 8 months when I made them for her, and I think her teeth were just starting to come in and she chewed these with her gums. If you decide to try it just be sure to keep a close eye on your baby. I remember being nervous that my daughter would break off a chunk and choke, but she never had any trouble with them, they always soaked up her slobber (gross! LOL) and broke down easily enough for her to swallow without issue. Hope that helps!

    Do you know if these could be made in the oven? And if so how long would I cook them for? I really don’t like using the microwave.

      I’m sure you could make them in the oven, but I have no idea on the time and temperature…especially with my crazy oven. You’ll have to experiment some day! =)

    Hey Laura, Thank you so much for the recipe. My baby’s teeth are driving him (and me :P) crazy, and he doesn’t like any of the 7 teethers I got him. I am making it for him as soon as I am done typing this comment and will let you know how it goes. By the way, baby Elliot is sooo cute 🙂
    Thanks again.

    I watch my 10 month granddaughter while my daughter works. I’ve been trying to find in the stores the hard teething biscuits that I use to give my kids. The kind that don’t break off and in the baby’s hands. I made your biscuits today and they turned out great. When she was eating them the were just like the one’s that I’ve been looking for. Cooking them in the microwave 15 seconds at a time was perfect.

    My baby loves, LOVES, LOVES these. If we’re going out, I make 1 or 2 to take with us, and he’ll happily sit in a cafe gnawing on one these while I chat with a girlfriend over coffee. Thank you for sharing!

    Fantastic idea! I made a quick sample with just plain bread and my 9 month old is happily gnawing away with his one little tooth! I can’t wait to try creating different flavors, and I know this is going to be the perfect teething distraction for when we’re out to eat! Thanks!

    OMGoodness Laura, I just read your “All about moi” description. Could we be the same person? Lol. I too just found this recepie tonight (on pintrest) prior to finding your blog about the same thing. I was hoping to find someone’s opinion on the result, and have now seen that you and many others are completely hooked on it. I have made a couple while my munchkin is down for the night, (and don’t they smell delicious!!! Seriously contemplating making a batch for MOI) in preparation for the BIG TEST in the morning after breakfast duties. I’m guessing this will be a great distraction for my little man while I organize his older brothers and sister for school. Fingers crossed, and thanks for the post. Certainly makes life easier when there are other bright cookies in the world providing great ideas for busy mothers. Have a great week!!!

    Just tried this out and my 10month old really liked it! I am sure it goes without saying but, careful the biscuit and plate get home hot! I wasn’t thinking because it was only 15 seconds at a time but I almost burned my hand taking it out of the microwave. Oops. How long do you think these would hold for, we have a long car ride coming up that these would be great for, but I would have to make them in advance. Thanks so much for this

      Hi Michelle! Glad your child liked them! And yeah, things can get hot quickly! I don’t remember how long they stayed good for…I never made a big batch to store, just one or two once in awhile. They may get soggy if stored too long…?
