Whether your child has food allergies, sensory sensitivities, or just loves to get hands-on in the kitchen, today’s recipe is designed with every kid in mind.
These Banana Oat Cookies are soft, naturally sweet, and made with just a few wholesome ingredients. Even better? They’re perfect for little hands to help mash, stir, and scoop!
Why This Activity Works for All Kids
• Simple Steps
With only a few ingredients and no fancy tools, kids of all ages and abilities can feel successful.
• Sensory-Friendly
Mashing bananas and stirring oats offers tactile input without overwhelming textures or smells.
• Safe & Inclusive
Free from common allergens like gluten, dairy, eggs, and nuts, and easy to modify for dietary needs.
• Builds Life Skills
Measuring, mixing, and baking supports motor development and routine following in a low-pressure setting.
Kitchen Conversation Starters
As you cook, try asking:
• “Can you guess how many cookies we’ll make?”
• “What’s your favorite part about cooking with me?”
Cooking with your child is a powerful way to build confidence, independence, and connection — and the joy of sharing a warm cookie together is the sweetest reward of all.
