George recently decided he wanted to eat my muesli over his own breakfast cereal so I decided to make him this almond & hazelnut baby muesli.  It is much more texture appropriate for him but still has some of the same flavours and goodness as mine.  So, now I want to eat his muesli…

Nutrition Note:  If you start to regularly offer this muesli to your baby try mixing it with some of their usual iron fortified cereal to get the added boost of iron.

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons dry roasted almonds (check for no salt or oil)
• 2 tablespoons dry roasted hazlenuts (check for no salt or oil)
• a pinch of cinnamon

Method

Step 1

Combine all the ingredients together in a food processor and process until you have a fine powder.
(Note: Depending on your child's age, check for larger pieces of nuts as these may pose a choking hazard.) -

Step 2

Serving suggestion: Mix 3 tbsp of the muesli with 2 tbsp of boiling water and 2 tbsp of milk (breast milk/formula or cows milk). Leave it to stand for 20-30 minutes so the oats can soften. Mix through some natural or greek yoghurt and/or fruit puree and serve adding extra milk or water if you are after a thinner consistency. Try it warm in the winter months. -
