Ingredients

ingredients: raspberries, walnuts, kefir, water, oats

Oats - a highly nutritious carbohydrate that can easily be paired with pretty much any ingredient.

Their high-fiber content helps with digestion and they also provide a fairly high amount of manganese and phosphorus.

Kefir - high in calcium. Make sure that you choose the full-fat ones for children under the age of 2 just to be sure they are getting enough fat and calories.

You could also replace kefir with ordinary plain yogurt or breastmilk.

Walnuts - add some "good" fats to the meal. Walnuts also contain a precursor to omega-3 fatty acids so they can be considered a kind of an omega-3 source (although fatty fish remains number 1).

Walnut nutrients also help the fight against heart and metabolic diseases.

Raspberries - a great fiber source, they are full of antioxidants and show anti-inflammatory benefits.

How to make?

process shot step 1 and 2

1. Place the oats and water in a pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, lower the heat until the oats fully absorb the water

2. Wash and smash raspberries (smashing/flattening raspberries is recommended for babies under 1 years old to prevent choking)

process shot step 3 and 4

3. Once oats are fully cooked, add raspberries and kefir and mix well

4. Sprinkle with ground walnuts or stir in walnut butter.

5. Serving - You can serve as is, and for toddlers we recommend using this ergonomic cutlery to help them learn how to use a spoon.

For babies you could also serve as is but if you prefer to puree you can just add the whole mixture to the blender.

FAQ

Can babies eat raspberries?

Yes. Babies can eat raspberries from day 1 of introducing solids. They can be considered a choking hazard for babies, depending on their size, so I would recommend either cutting them up into smaller pieces or smashing them before serving to your child.

Can raspberries cause an allergic reaction?

Pretty much any food can cause an allergic reaction. Some more frequently than others but raspberries don't fall under that category. However when introducing any new food I recommend you give it in the morning and during a working day just to be on the safe side and monitor any possible allergic reactions.

What are raspberries good for?

Like most berries, raspberries are a great source of antioxidants which can act anti-inflammatory for the body. They also have been shown to regulate blood sugar and newer research suggest they may help in treating obesity.

When can babies eat nuts?

Like any other food (apart from honey and cow's milk) babies can eat nuts at the time they start weaning. However most nuts are a choking hazard, so when offering nuts to your baby either offer them as ground nuts or nut butters.

Top Tips

  • use full fat kefir/yogurt for babies and toddlers under the age of 2 because babies and small children do need that extra healthy fat support for their rapid growth and development
  • using smaller rolled oats rather than larger will cut down cooking time and for smaller babies will be easier to digest.
  • for bigger toddlers, you don't need to cook the oats before joining them with the kefir/yogurt and fruit. You can simply leave the oats to soak in the yogurt/kefir overnight and add the fruit just before serving

Recipe Variations

  • use a different nut - you can use ground peanuts, hazelnuts or any of their butters to make this raspberry oatmeal for baby
  • use a different grain like buckwheat or millet if you are bored of oats. You can just replace oats with buckwheat/millet in this recipe and cook it the same way.
