4.8 stars (5 ratings)
This creamy baby cereal is filled with 3 different whole grains and probiotics to help promote a healthy gut.

Ingredients 

  • 1/3 cup steel cut oats
  • 1/3 cup brown short grain rice
  • 1/3 cup barley or quinoa
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 teaspoons probiotics I recommend this one
  • 1/4-1 cup liquid, water, fresh breast milk, formula

Instructions 

  • In a fine mesh colander, rinse the grains until the water runs clear.
  • Place the grains and water into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes or until all the grains are tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Let cool for 15-20 minutes or until cool.
  • Add cooked grains and probiotics into a blender or food processor and puree for 1-2 minutes on medium-high until completely smooth, adding in additional liquids in 1/4 cup increments if needed. I had to add an additional cup of water to the puree pictured above.
  • Serve or freeze.

Notes

Note on Barley: feel free to sub quinoa instead of the barley for a gluten free baby cereal.
