Oats are packed with protein, fiber, and overall nutrition for everyone. There are PLENTY of combinations that include oats and can make a meal exciting for baby. Here’s one of our favorites!
Here’s what you’ll need:
1/4 cup of fine oats (preferably steel cut)
A handful of raisins
A pinch or two of cinnamon powder
Peeled and cubed apple
Peeled and cubed pear
1/2 teaspoon of flax seeds (optional)
Here’s what you’ll do:
- Let water come to a rolling boil for 2 minutes, then add the oats. Stir frequently and add raisins and cinnamon. Make sure oats are fully cooked.
- While the oats are cooking, steam the cubed apples and pears in your steamer/food maker. Steam for 15 minutes, or until soft.
- Drain water from steamed fruits and add cooked oat mixture to the food maker.
- Another great option to boost nutrition is to add 1/2 teaspoon of flax seeds. If your little eater is really new to the dinner table, consider grinding the seeds to a powder prior to adding.
- Blend to desired consistency. Use the blend function once on the 1-Step Food Maker Deluxe, which equates to about 30 seconds.
- Transfer to baby safe bowl, stir, and enjoy!
Enjoy!
