Can Babies Eat Baked Oats
Baked oats can be a nutritious and convenient delicious breakfast option for babies, especially when prepared with these age-appropriate ingredients in this baked oats recipe no banana recipe (I know some babies do not like that banana taste) on those busy mornings.
They provide a good source of carbohydrates and fibre, helping to keep your little one satisfied throughout the morning.
When introducing baked oats, it's essential to ensure they are cooked thoroughly and cut into appropriate sizes to prevent choking.
You can personalise this recipe even further by adding pureed or mashed fruit, such as raspberries or apples or apple sauce, which not only enhance flavour but also add natural sweetness.
Overall, baked oats are a wholesome choice that can easily be adapted to suit your baby’s developing tastes and nutritional needs for an easy breakfast in the morning with a cake-like texture.
Can Baby Eat Oats Everyday
Yes, babies can eat oats everyday, as they are a nutritious food option that is easy to digest and rich in essential vitamins and minerals. A great recipe for baby and toddler with no added sugar.
Oats provide a good source of fibre, which can help promote healthy digestion, and they are also packed with iron and B vitamins that support overall growth and development.
When introducing oats into your baby's diet, it is best to start with a smooth porridge made from finely ground oats and gradually increase the texture as your baby becomes more accustomed to solids.
Always ensure that oats are cooked properly and served in a form that is suitable for your baby's age and chewing abilities.
Ingredient information
Oats - I have used rolled oats for this recipe but you can use other oats such as quick oats or jumbo oats/steel cut oats but you will need to blitz the jumbo oats in a high speed blender or Nutri bullet.
Blueberries - I have used a blueberry per baked oats cup to add a little bit of colour and extra sweetness. You can leave this out if you prefer.
Plain yogurt - I have used a plain Greek style yogurt this is great as it is extra protein and adds creaminess to the breakfast recipe.
Milk - I have used a dairy milk whole milk for this recipe you can use a different type of milk such as semi skimmed milk or a plant based milk such as oat milk or almond, coconut milk or soy milk.
Egg - As the baked oats are being baked, I have added an egg to make sure that the oats combine together easily when baked together.
Cinnamon - I have added this spice to the baked oats as it adds a yummy sweetness and added dimension to the baked oats, you can leave this out if you prefer.
Serving suggestion
The healthy breakfast recipe are great as they are made as individual portions, you can easily serve the baked oats as they are to your baby to explore, or you can serve with a plain Greek yogurt for dipping and of course added nutrition.
You could serve the nutritious breakfast with some fresh berries such as strawberries, raspberries or blackberries. Or add some nut butter such as almond butter or peanut butter (smooth).
For older kids and adults you can customise this recipe and use a few chocolate chips if you like.

If you wanted to freeze the baked oatmeal recipe, you will need to make sure that the baked oats have cooled down before transferring to either a freezer bag, airtight container or simply cover with plastic wrap.
Ensure that the bag and airtight container is labelled with the item and the date. I use masking tape to label the airtight container.
You could freeze the baked oats in the ramekin or baking dish, if the baked oats have fully cooled down. Wrap in foil, followed by cling film. The baked oats will store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To defrost the baked oats, leave in the fridge overnight to defrost and make sure it is fully defrosted, before re heating.
To reheat, place the defrosted baked oats in a ramekin in a preheated oven on 180C/350F and reheat on a for 15 minutes.
Once the baked oats have been defrosted you will not be able to reheat or re freeze.
Equipment used to help with this recipe
Muffin tray - A non-stick muffin pan that will easily clean any spills from the muffin cases. You will need one of these to easily hold the muffin cases.
Silicone cups - I love reusable kitchen stuff! These silicone muffin cases are dishwasher and freezer safe and can be used in the oven up to 230 degrees C! Ideal for individual baby portions.
Airtight container - I much prefer the click-shut lids on these containers compared to others. They are also dishwasher and freezer safe and BPA free, so very suitable for food use.
Baking tray - I have chosen to use a non-stick and BPA free baking sheet - they are easy to clean and, if you buy more than one, easily stackable and easily stored.
