Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons rolled oats
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.5 piece ripe banana
- 2 tablespoons breast milk/formula (optional)
- 0.125 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring the water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Add the rolled oats to the boiling water and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 4-5 minutes, or until the oats are soft and the mixture has thickened into a creamy consistency.
Once the oats are cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
While the oats are cooling, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth, or leave it slightly chunky depending on your baby’s stage of solids.
Stir the mashed banana into the cooked oatmeal, mixing well until fully combined.
For a smoother consistency, transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender and blend until your desired texture is reached.
If the mixture is too thick, you can thin it out with breast milk, formula, or a small amount of water. Add 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
Optionally, mix in a tiny pinch of cinnamon for added flavor, but consult your pediatrician before introducing spices to your baby’s diet.
Serve immediately once the mixture has cooled to a baby-safe temperature.
