Oatmeal Bites (perfect for babies and kids!)

Oatmeal in an easy format that babies and kids can feed to themselves. They are full of iron, protein, and healthy fats!
Prep Time5 minutes mins
Cook Time2 minutes mins
Total Time7 minutes mins

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fine oats larger rolled oats work but they tend to fall apart a bit more after being cooked
  • 2 tbs ground flax seed
  • 1 tbs chia seeds presoaked chia makes the chia easier to digest-see note 1
  • 1 tbs hemp seeds
  • 2 tbs nut or seed butter
  • 1 cup plant based milk (I use soy for extra protein and choline) this amount could vary depending on what you add to the oatmeal. Generally you will need to add the same amount of plant-based milk as oats.

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients minus the plant-based milk to a microwave-safe glass container and mix well. Add half of the plant-based milk and start mixing together with the oat mixutre, then gradually add more until you reach a consistency that sticks together but isn´t too wet.
  • Press the mixture down in the container and cook in the microwave for 2 minutes.
  • Remove from microwave and cut into strips and then into bites. Only cut the bites that you will be serving as storing leftovers is better when left uncut. Be sure to cool slightly before serving.
  • When storing leftovers, store in the fridge in the same container. When reheating, first cut into bites and spash some plant-based milk on top to add moisture before microwaving. Reheat in microwave for about 1 minute depending on how much you have left to reheat. Cool the bites before serving.

Notes

note 1-to presoak chia, add 1/4 cup of chia to 1 cup of water and store in the fridge for at least 1 hour.  Chia absorbs a lot of liquid, and when it isn´t presoakd it sometimes absorbs liquid during digestion which could make digestion more difficult.
