They’re handheld and easy for little ones to enjoy and if they are anything like my kids, they love a good bar.
The filling is fruity, sweet, and comforting.
Soft texture makes them the perfect toddler snack idea!
They look like a fun treat but are filled with nourishing ingredients.
Oats – Provide fiber and slow-release energy.
Egg – Adds protein for fullness and growth.
Honey – Natural sweetness (for 12 months+).
Strawberries – Packed with vitamin C and antioxidants (especially if you use homemade chia jam).
Butter – A source of healthy fats that support brain development.
Roll each square thinner before adding jam, this keeps the crust from being too thick.
Don’t overfill with jam, or it will ooze out during baking.
Seal edges with a fork to keep the filling tucked inside.
This dough is really easy to work with, but you must chill dough for at least 20 minutes, it makes shaping much easier.
