For a baby-friendly version (for 5+ months), grind the oats into a fine powder using a food processor first, then make it the same way as usual. Once your baby is older, you can skip the grinding step and use regular oats. Babies love this with unsweetened applesauce or other fruit purees mixed in, and it’s 100% baby-approved!
