As a matter of fact, I have a recipe that my son loved when he was

teething:

Knackbrod

from The Vegan Handbook

1 c all-purpose flour

1 c graham flour

2 T sugar or other sweetener

1/2 t baking soda

1/2 t baking powder

8 oz commercial corn muffin mix (check for animal fat)

3 T soy butter or margarine

3/4 c milk

Mix dry ingredients. Cut in butter. Add milk. Mix well. Roll thin, cut

into shapes and bake 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees until brown.

I found these recipe awhile ago and can't remember where...but it works well

and they're easy to make.( I modified it a little and used rice flour at

first because Evan was okay with rice:)

Teething Biscuits Two versions (Quinoa or Amaranth):

Quinoa:

1c. quinoa flour

1/2 c tapioca flour

3 tbsp. oil

1/2 c apple juice concentrate,thawed

or

Amaranth:

1 c amaranth flour

1/2 c arrowroot

3 tbsp oil

3/8 c pineapple juice concentrate, thawed

Combine flour in a bowl. Mix the oil and juice together and stir into the

flour. Knead dough to absorb all the flour and form a very hard dough. Roll

dough to 3/8 " thickness. Roll out. Cut into 1 " by 3 " bars and put on lightly

oiled baking sheet. Bake at 300 degrees for 35-40 minutes, or until begin to

brown. TURN OFF THE OVEN AND LEAVE THEM IN FOR 1 MORE HOUR. Makes about 1

1/2 dozen teething biscuits.

Now, these are not sweet at all. On some I added brown sugar on the top to

make my son appreciate them a little more.

These are hard enough to grasp and hold onto....yet, they kinda dissolve as

they chew on them. They are wonderful to tote around in the diaper bag as

well. They don't crumble up everywhere.
