baby eats: oat cereal

Stage I, Stage II.
Makes at least 1/4C.

• 1/4 C rolled oats.

1. Put rolled oats into grinder/food processor.
2. Pulse oats until finely ground (texture like powder).

To keep: Cover, and use within 24hrs.
To refrigerate: Cover, and use within 3 days.
To freeze: Put into flat container with lid. Cover, and use within 7-10 days.

Homemade ground oats may go rancid if it is kept too warm. It may get freezer-burn if kept with too much moisture. Treat it as you would crumble topping =)

I've made 1/4C today. We'll see how it goes.

baby eats: fruity oat cereal

Stage I, Stage II.
Makes approx. 1/8C (30ml)

• 1t ground rolled oats,
• 3t hot boiled water,
• 2-3t fruit puree (e.g. pear).

1. Put ground oats in small bowl.
2. Measure in water.
3. Mix well, until smooth as possible (may be lumpy-ish).
4. Mix in fruit puree.

This makes a runny meal.
For a more solid texture, reduce quantity of water or puree at the appropriate stage.
