You make the ground up oats, then you use a smaller amount to make each serving. You can’t blend up 1 tablespoon at a time, so you need to start with the larger amount and simply store it to use as you need it. I hope that helps.

Store bought baby oatmeal is processed differently. Maybe you just could add a little more liquid?

When I add the water, the oatmeal is a bit sticky vs the store bought stuff. Any reason why this is?

Hi- For about 1/4 cup oatmeal, I’d do 1-2 tablespoons of the fruit puree. You could add cinnamon to any flavor and then for savory foods, you can add things like ginger, cumin, italian seasoning, oregano—whatever you like. There’s not really an allergy concern with spices so you have a lot of options as long as you avoid hot spice. I hope that helps a little!

Hi! I like the idea of adding purées to the oatmeal. My daughter is 9 months old and she is a very picky eater. Oatmeal seems to be the only thing she really likes. She can tolerate butternut squash and yams but she hates all fruit so far.

I was wondering how much purée you add to the oatmeal? Also, do you have any other tips on how to make fruit and veggie purées tastier? I haven’t added any spices to her food and I’m not sure when I can add them since I know the Dr. said to introduce one food at a time.

Thanks for you help and thanks for sharing your recipes! 🙂

When the oats are ground into a fine powder, they cook almost instantly with hot liquid. I hope that helps!

Hi, thanks so much for the recipe. I just wanted to clarify I am sing quaker oats large flakes oats. I grind them up like you said and wanted to verify that I don’t have to cook them before giving to them to the baby that I can just add hot formula to them. Thanks in advance
