Recipes using baby cereal?
« on: June 16, 2010, 16:06:14 pm »
DS refuses to eat anything from a spoon, including baby cereal. He won't eat meat, beans, etc. either so I'm having a hard time getting iron into him. He eats Nutrios, but not enough of them in a day to get his iron intake.

So, does anyone have any recipes for finger foods that I can make with baby cereal? I was thinking something along the lines of pancakes or muffins. He's only 9 mo so he's not eating whole eggs yet and we haven't introduced milk yet, but we have tried yogurt.

I have a few recipes, I'll go look for them and come back later. DD was the same and the nutritionist gave us a few and DD liked it.

Here's one, they freeze really well and DD loved them

Orange and date muffins

250 ml pure orange juice
1/2 cup of finely chopped dates
1 egg(you can us 2 egg yolk only if there are egg allergies in family)
3tbs canola oil
3tbs honey(you can use sugar instead)
1 cup flour
2 cups fortified baby cereal(I found rice made the dough tougher, so I prefered oatmeal)
2tsp baking powder
2ml of salt

-mix wet ingredients together
-mix all dry in a seperate bowl, then pour wet mixture with dry until just blended.
-in greased muffin tins, add then bake at 200C(400F) for about 15 mins.
should make about 24 muffins. They can be kept for 4 days in the fridge or up to 3months in the freezer.

If you find the mixture to dry, you can add a bit more liquid.

I have a few others but I never tried them. If you want I can give you the others, like cereal cookies, sunny day cookies, mini fruit pancakes, banana oatmeal cookies. I find they all have a lot of sugar though, and they all have eggs. I haven't found any at all without eggs. But I see your LO is about 9mo, so it should be OK in baked foods, especially if you just use the yolks.
