Baked Apple & Oat Baby Puree
This delicious spiced, baked apple puree with the addition of nutritious oats is homemade baby food at it's best. A silky smooth, deliciously flavorful first taste of apples for your baby. (Suitable from 6 months plus.)
Ingredients
- 3 medium apples, peeled, cored and cut into cubes
- 2 tsps butter, cut into tiny cubes
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp ginger
- ⅛ tsp nutmeg
- 2 Tbsp oat flour
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 160C / 320F.
- Place the apples in a baking dish and sprinkle the spices and butter cubes on top.
- Bake apples at for 40-50 minutes, until they easily collapse under the weight of a fork. About 10-15 minutes into the cooking time, remove the dish and give everything a mix with a spatula or wooden spoon to get the melted butter and spices more evenly distributed.
- Remove from the oven and puree in a small blender with the oat flour.
- Add water*, one spoonful at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Notes
* You can also use the baby's usual milk to thin this out. I choose water because a little water intake with solids helps avoid constipation (something that oats can make worse).
