I have some, I will have to come back on and post them though. And I think my Mum has one of my books.... But I'll post some, no worries.

Okay, ideas.... tell me what you want.... Pikelets (use wholemeal flour), with banana/ gingerbread/ apple. Mini fruit muffins (freeze really well). Gingerbread men. There are heaps of things.

Pretty much any biscuit can be for a tot, even anzacs were in one of my babies to children recipe books. As I just put in another recipe thread, just reduce the amount of sugar. I reduce the amount of sugar I add, not only for my kids, but also for us adults. I mean, we just don't need that much, and you can't tell.

Okay, I'm going now because I'm fighting with a little boy on my lap.

I think Christy has some great healthy-ish biscuits and slice recipes...she replaces lots of sugar with puree sweet potato and pears and things I think.

You can make your own muesli bars quite chewy too.

how would you put banana in pikelets? mash them and add it to the mixture?

Here is my pikelet recipe, DD loves them and loves to help make them too.

1 cup wholemeal self raising flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 egg
2/3 cup milk

Then can add: 1 mashed banana
Grated apple
Sultanas
Grated carrot, grated zucchini
Cheese
Berries
The list is endless!

You can leave out the sugar if you want too, especially if you are adding fruit to the mix which is sweet anyway.
