Ingredients
- 1 cups old fashioned oats
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons agave or maple syrup optional; for older babies/toddlers
- 1 large apple peeled if desired, small diced or 1 cup apple compote
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large, deep microwave-safe bowl (to prevent overflow), stir together the oats, water, diced apple, cinnamon, and sweetener, if using.
- Microwave uncovered on high for 3 minutes.
- Stir well, then return to the microwave for 2–3 additional minutes, watching carefully to prevent bubbling over.
- Let the oatmeal rest for 2–3 minutes. The apples will continue to soften and the oats will thicken.
- Stir again and adjust the texture with a splash of warm water, if needed, to reach a soft, BLW-appropriate consistency. For younger eaters, you can use a potato masher to ensure a smoother bite.
