Recipes for New Denture Wearers

Hi, I’m Ava Moore and I love cooking. But when I got my dentures, I wasn’t sure how to adapt my favorite recipes. After some trial and error, I’ve come up with some delicious and denture-friendly recipes that I want to share with you.

Recipes

Here are some of my favorite recipes that are easy to chew and delicious:

Soft Scrambled Eggs

  • Whisk 2 eggs in a bowl with a splash of milk and a pinch of salt
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over low heat
  • Pour in the eggs and stir gently with a spatula until they are cooked to your liking

Chicken and Rice Soup

  • Sauté 1 chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until soft
  • Add 4 cups of chicken broth, 1 cup of cooked rice, and 1 cup of shredded cooked chicken
  • Simmer for 10 minutes until heated through

Banana Oatmeal Cookies

  • Mash 2 ripe bananas in a bowl with a fork
  • Add 1 cup of quick oats, ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of honey
  • Mix well and drop spoonfuls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
  • Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes until lightly browned

These recipes are just a starting point. You can adapt almost any recipe by making sure the food is cut into small pieces or cooked until it is soft and easy to chew.
