Homemade Baby Oatmeal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (50g) rolled oats
- 1 cup milk of choice e.g., breastmilk/formula, full-fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional, but highly recommended)
- 1 medium egg well whisked (optional, can leave out if there's an allergy)
Instructions
- Start by measuring out 1/2 cup of rolled oats.
- Select 1 cup of the milk that suits your baby's dietary needs.
- If using, measure 1 teaspoon of chia, flax, or hemp seeds.
- If including, whisk one medium egg until well combined.
- In a small pot over medium heat, combine the oats and milk. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to thicken.
- Stir in the chia seeds (optional) and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, or until the oatmeal reaches the desired consistency.
- If using the egg, slowly pour it into the oatmeal while stirring constantly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to ensure the egg is fully cooked.
- Remove the pot from heat and let the oatmeal cool to a safe temperature before serving to your baby.
