Baby Oats with Prunes

Ingridients:

old-fashioned rolled oats	¼ cup
pitted prunes (dried plums)	4
water	8 fl oz/250 ml

 

Instructions:

Place the oats in a food processor and process until finely ground. In a small saucepan, stir together the ground oats and 1 cup (8 fl oz/250 ml) water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the oats, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Make sure the texture is right for your baby. To make it thinner, add water, breast milk, or formula. Remove from the heat and set aside. Let cool to a safe temperature.

In another small saucepan over medium heat, combine the prunes with ¾ cup (6 fl oz/180 ml) water. Simmer until the prunes are very tender, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Puree the prunes in the pan with an immersion blender, or transfer to a blender or food processor, and puree until smooth, adding another splash of water if the mixture seems too thick.

When ready to serve, spoon some oatmeal into your baby's bowl and swirl in a few spoonfuls of the pureed prunes.
