Simply add rice or oatmeal into your grinder, and pulverize until it is a powder. This takes about 10-20 seconds.
Once you've ground your oats into oat powder, you're ready to make baby oatmeal.
Bring 1/2 cup of water to a boil, then add in 2tbsp of oat powder, and whisk continuously for 30 seconds. Turn the heat down to medium low, and continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occaisionally.
To thin, use breastmilk or formula. For older babies, add fruit or vegetable puree, and experiment with spices such a ginger (great for digestion!), nutmeg and cinnamon!
Notes:
The type of oats that you choose doesn't really matter. We had large flake oats in the house at the time, so that's what I used. For added nutrients, use steel cut! In a pinch? Minute oats are just fine!
The recipe above provides one serving of baby oatmeal. You can make a larger batch and store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 72 hours.
