  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth using a fork.

  3. Add the finely ground oats, unsweetened applesauce, cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract to the bowl with the banana. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly and form a sticky dough.

  6. Bake the sticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and firm to the touch.

  7. Remove the Teething Sticks from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving to your baby.

  8. Store any leftover Teething Sticks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
