Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Quick Oats (Not old-fashioned rolled oats, or pulse your rolled oats into a finer texture)
  • 1-2 teaspoons Chia Seeds (start with 1 under 8 months, add 2 for thicker texture.)
  • 1/2 cup Almond Milk
  • 1 tablespoon Yogurt of Choice
  • 2 tablespoons Mashed Banana (or baby pumpkin puree)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 cup Berries (or banana chunks)

Directions

  1. 1

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: quick oats and chia seeds. Make sure you are using quick oats, which is a pulsed version of old-fashioned oats. It has a smaller texture but is still thicker than oat flour and perfect for babies.

  2. 2

    Stir in almond milk, yogurt, mashed banana, and vanilla extract. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.

  3. 3

    Cover bowl with film wrap and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours. I recommend stirring after 2-3 hours to prevent the seeds from sinking to the bottom of the bowl.

  4. 4

    The next day, offer plain or with berries or a drizzle of maple syrup if your baby is over 1 year old. If too thick for your little one, thin out by adding some almond milk. If too thin, stir in an extra teaspoon of chia seed and soak for 3 extra hours.

  5. 5

    Store up to 4 days in the fridge in an airtight container or freeze and thaw in the fridge the day before
