Prep time

Ingredients

  • Milk: 75ml baby or toddler's milk
  • Apple: 1/2 or 1 small apple or pear, finely grated (or 2 tbsp fruit puree)
  • Oats: 25g rolled oats
  • Chia Seeds: 1 tsp chia seeds

Directions

  1. Mix together the fruit, oats, chia seeds and milk. If baby is used to soft foods and purees, you'll need to steam the fruit (see tip below). If baby is used to more texture then you can peel and finely grate the apple or pear.
  2. Soak for an hour, covered in the fridge - the Bircher is ready to serve when the chia seeds are completely soft and gel-like. For babies, this should be eaten on the day of making, for toddlers, you can leave it in the fridge overnight and serve for breakfast if you like.
