Oatmeal: how to prepare it for your baby and recipes for the whole family

We all know that you can not talk about "superfoods", but about healthy foods in a varied diet in food. However, in the case of oatmeal, one could speak of "supercereal" due to the multiple benefits it has for the health of the whole family.

There are many more options apart from industrial baby porridge (which usually carry too much sugar) or the traditional muesli, which has a tough competition in breakfast cereals. We teach you how to prepare oatmeal for your baby and recipes for the whole family.

A very complete food

Oatmeal shares its high content with other cereals slow absorption carbohydrates = energy, But what makes it different is that it has a higher contribution of vegetable proteins and heart-healthy fats, which makes it a more complete food. Ideal for us to spend the morning without pecking and for the children to endure with energy until recess.

In addition, it provides fiber (good for its satiating power and to improve intestinal transit), vitamins and minerals such as Magnesium or Phosphorus and helps reduce cholesterol.

How to consume it

In supermarkets and herbalists we can find it in grain, in flakes, in the form of flour and the famous muesli, with which you have to be especially careful and look at the label, because it is usually "lively" with sugar or honey.

Yes, very good, but it looks like chicken food, a friend told me the other day. It is true that oatmeal alone does not have a sweet taste, but if we put imagination into the preparations (as we show you below), it is delicious. This cereal is so versatile that it can be consumed:

  • Raw: Both grains and flakes can be added to milk or vegetable drink or yogurt directly in raw or soaked.

  • Cooked: Some people find it smoother and more digestive to consume cooked oatmeal (for example in baby porridge). With ten minutes of cooking in water, milk, vegetable drink or broth will suffice.

  • In other preparations: With oatmeal you can make cookies or biscuits, get crusty batters, give consistency to homemade hamburgers by adding it to the dough ...

How can babies take oatmeal?

Oatmeal is introduced into the feeding of babies like any other cereal with gluten, from six months. We can prepare it in the form of porridge and give it as is or add fruit. If you want to prepare with milk, for babies under one year of age, you have to take into account that neither breast milk nor formula milk should be boiled because they lose properties, so a solution would be to cook the oatmeal in water, drain it well and then mix it with breast milk or formula.

This cereal is also a favorite of moms who choose BLW to feed their children. In fact, oatmeal and banana cookies are one of the foods that babies put in their mouths with their own hands (the recipe does not deserve to be called that, just crush the banana with the fork, add the oatmeal and bake for 10 minutes).

Recipes for the whole family

The dietitian-nutritionist Adriana Oroz, from the Alimmenta Nutrition Clinic is convinced of the benefits of this cereal and usually posts recipes like these in which she uses oatmeal as an ingredient on her Instagram account.

This recipe is a classic in my house. My little ones love it at any time, I have given it to them for breakfast, snack or dinner interchangeably. The version proposed here Adriana is very pro, but if you mix with the blender simply banana, an egg, oatmeal and a dash of milk is also fetén. No need to add sugar because bananas are already very sweet (especially the ripe ones, which are the ones I usually take to make this recipe).
