I am trying to feed Rayce foods that are not processed. Obviously since he is on formula and cereal to supplement his formula it is not a hard and fast rule with us. I try where I can to make up for where I can't is what I am basically saying.
Ingredients:
4 cups water
1/2 c. steel cut oats at flour conisitancy
Steel cut oats are so much cheaper than oatmeal. There is a local cooking store (Kitchen Kneads) that I can get a 4.25 pound bag for $3.25. Super great deal and very healthy. I also make them for me. here
The first thing you have to do is pulverize them into a flour substance for younger babies. As they get older, this wouldn't be as crucial. I have used my food processor but it's large and with that small of an amount of oats it is not very effective. I have a Blendtec blender and it kicks it's butt. I do enough for 4 rounds at a time. (2 C.)
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil then slowly whisk in 1/2 c. pulverized oats. Cook on medium low for 15 minutes covered; then 5 minutes more uncovered. I stir every few minutes.
I let it cool down and then put into individual containers for each dinner. I mix it up with apple sauce and he loves it. If I have more than I will use within 4 - 5 days, I freeze it in ice cube trays and thaw the night before I need it.
