Homemade Baby Oatmeal

"I was looking for oatmeal that was not iron fortified, and found a way to make it myself with some help from the internet. So easy! This powder can also be used in the homemade instant oatmeal recipes you can find here on zaar. I just keep it in a Tupperware container and its ready to go. The original recipe I found on wholesomebabyfood.com called for steel cut oats. But for the life of me, I could not get them ground fine enough, plus it took 10 minutes to cook. Although this is "more processed", it's so much faster!"

  1. I made this to add to baby gift basket (made from a plastic tub for babies) for a friend along with other items such as a thermometer, mini food processor, blanket set, bath set, baby books, and even a bath oil set for the mom for her moments to re-coup. I think this recipe really tops off the basket well, and will give the new mom confidence to try healthy recipes for her baby and how simple it is to make it homemade. Thanks for sharing the recipe. :)
     
  2. Simply genius. :D I needed something to eat, but I couldn't eat with severe tooth pain on both sides of my face. As an adult I've quite often eaten baby food as a snack or meal replacement when my tummy acts up or my teeth act up. This was a simple and cheaper way to make baby-style oatmeal. I appreciate your posting this. Btw, I added a bit of Smart Balance with Flaxseed Oil Spread, brown sugar, and maple syrup to my serving. Will make this again, thanks! :)

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I'm currently a stay at home mom to two boys (7 and 5). Most of the time I feel like this is more challenging than my old job as an IT analyst! My husband is super, and is supportive of anything I do - currently addicted to zaar! We've been married 9 years, both our second time around). <br /> <br />I love scrapbooking, cloth diapering, organizing, getting things for really good deals, and spending time with my family. We're in the process of going green and having lots of fun doing it. I have an Etsy store: www.winkydinks.etsy.com<br /> <br />My rating system: <br />5 stars - outstanding. Save this one for company or make it very often for ourselves. <br />4 stars - very good. Something we would definitely make again (and again). <br />3 stars - was good. Tastes may not have suited us but was a good recipe. May or may not try it again. <br />2 stars - was ok. Probably would not make again. <br />1 star - didn't turn out, would not make again. <br /> <br /><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/pt-shutterbug-banner-1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj81/HokiesLady65/Recipezaar%20Album/iplaytagin.jpg alt= /></p>
