Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 medium, peeled and finely diced apple
- 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cups water
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon optional maple syrup or honey (for older babies over 12 months)
Instructions
Peel and finely dice the medium apple into small cubes suitable for a baby’s consumption.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, diced apple, water, and cinnamon.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the ingredients together gently.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Let the oatmeal cook for about 7-8 minutes, or until the oats have softened and the apple pieces are tender.
Stir in the milk during the last minute of cooking for a creamier texture. Continue stirring until everything is well combined.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the oatmeal cool slightly before serving. Use a spoon to mash the apple pieces further if needed to make the texture more baby-friendly.
For babies over 12 months, you can drizzle a small amount of maple syrup or honey to add a touch of sweetness, but this step is optional.
Serve the oatmeal warm, ensuring it's at a safe temperature for your little one to enjoy.
