Ingredients for Savory Sweet Potato and Pea Toddler Biscuits including sweet potatoes, peas, gluten-free flour, ground flaxseed, olive oil, and baking powder

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees C (350 degrees F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Steam or boil the peeled and chopped sweet potato until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and mash finely in a large bowl.
Add thawed peas to the mashed sweet potato and mash together until mostly smooth, leaving small pea pieces for toddler-friendly texture.
Stir in the olive oil until thoroughly combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, gluten-free baking powder, and optional ground flaxseed.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the vegetable mixture, stirring well to combine.
Add water a tablespoon at a time as needed to form a soft, pliable dough that holds together but is not sticky.
Lightly flour a clean surface with gluten-free flour and roll out the dough to approximately 1cm thickness.
Use small cookie cutters or a knife to cut the dough into toddler-appropriate biscuit shapes about 5cm in diameter.
Arrange biscuits on the lined baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes until firm to touch and slightly golden on the bottom.
Allow biscuits to cool completely before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for later use.
