Carrot-Prune Chewables

Doesn't that sound delicious? Mmmm, prunes. When your babies are a little, er, stopped up though, and they refuse fiber in its original form, it's time to get creative! These are easy to whack together, and although they took a little gnawing the girls gulped them down in a flash. I'd give these 3.5 stars (of 5) - they're extremely chewy, and while I like the ingredients I didn't feel safe letting the girls to eat without me watching them like a hawk.

Carrot-Prune Chewables (via Leila Dishes)

Ingredients (36 bars)

2 cups carrots
2 cups steel cut oats (can sub old fashioned oats)
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1 cup prunes (can sub dates)
1 TBS cinnamon
2 TBS chia seeds
1 flax egg (1 TBS ground flax, mixed with 1 TBS water)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 350. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Boil carrots for 20 minutes, set aside. Grind oats into a fine flour like consistency, pour into a bowl and combine with cinnamon, coconut, and chia seeds. In food processor, pulse prunes (or dates) until smooth. Add carrots and pulse until well combined. Add oat mixture, vanilla, and flax egg. Pulse until smooth.

Put a little coconut oil on your hands to avoid sticking, and pat out the dough onto the cookie sheet. Cut into 36 pieces. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping half-way through.

Cool on a cooling rack and store in the fridge. (I originally stored them on the counter, but they dried out pretty quickly)
