Follow The Directions

01

Step

2 mins

In a medium saucepan, combine milk and rolled oats. Stir well to ensure oats are fully immersed. (2 minutes)

02

Step

1 mins

Introduce chia seeds, ground flax seeds, and hemp seeds into the mixture. Stir to distribute evenly, creating a nutrient-rich base. (1 minute)

03

Step

5 mins

Bring the oatmeal to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook until the mixture thickens to a soft, pudding-like consistency. (Approximately 5-7 minutes)

04

Step

2 mins

Remove the saucepan from heat. Gently fold in the crushed blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the oatmeal mixture. (2 minutes)

05

Step

1 mins

Transfer the oatmeal to a lightly oiled rectangular glass dish or a silicone mold. Press the mixture down gently to create a uniform thickness. (3 minutes)

06

Step

1 hrs

Cover the dish with an airtight lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the oatmeal is completely cooled and set. This allows the bites to firm up for easy handling. (60 minutes)

07

Step

Once chilled, cut the oatmeal into bite-sized pieces suitable for baby-led weaning. Serve chilled and watch your little one enjoy the adventure of self-feeding!

For added flavor and nutrition, consider incorporating a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the oatmeal while cooking.
Experiment with different fruits! Mashed banana, finely diced apples, or pureed pumpkin are all excellent additions.
Ensure all ingredients are age-appropriate and free from allergens. Always consult with your pediatrician before introducing new foods to your baby's diet.
If the oatmeal bites are too soft, add a tablespoon of oat flour to thicken the mixture before chilling.
Store leftover oatmeal bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
