Get the recipe: Blueberry Oatmeal for Baby, Toddler + Kids
Blueberry Oatmeal for Baby, Toddler & Kids - the perfect warm breakfast for any age! This vivid oatmeal can be made into a baby puree, cooled into chunks for baby-led weaning, served separated with add-ins for the skeptical toddler or in a bowl with all the toppings for kids (and adults).
Ingredients
- 2 cups water or milk of choice
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries (see notes)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup, coconut sugar or brown sugar (optional)
Instructions
- In a mediuma saucepan, bring the liquid to a boil over med-high heat.
- Add in the oats, blueberries, vanilla extact, cinnamon and sweetener (if using), stir. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 8-10 mintues or until the water is absorbed, stirring often.
Notes
Age: 6 months and up (see guide above for more information)
Note on Blueberries: I like to use wild blueberries in this recipe because they tend to be way smaller than standard blueberries and easier for baby or toddler to eat. You can totally use regular blueberries but you may have to cut them in half for easier eating.
Storage: any leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. If pureeing for baby, you can store leftovers in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Reheat: to reheat, place desired amount of oats in a micro-wave safe bowl or in a small saucepan, add in a little milk or cream and heat until just warm, adding in more milk if needed.
Yield: 6 small baby or toddler servings, 4 kid or adult servings.
