How to Make Homemade Baby Oatmeal

  1. Add 1 cup of rolled oats to a food processor.
  2. Process until the oats are a fine powder (this may take a few minutes).
  3. In a small bowl, mix 2-4 tablespoons of the oat powder with 1/4 cup of hot tap water (adjust water amount for desired consistency).
  4. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  5. Mix in your baby's favorite fruits, yogurt, or other pureed foods (optional).
  6. Always test the temperature before serving to your baby!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
