Our friend Holly is blessed with a beautiful Apricot tree in her yard and it's currently chock full of yummy ripe apricots. I found this recipe on Feeding Little Foodies (with a little Mish+Mash twist) and thought it would be such a great breakfast treat for your kiddos now that Apricot season is upon us. Take advantage of all the wonderful fresh produce the summer has to offer by experimenting with different ways of preparing it. It's a great way to get your whole family to eat something new while it's at its best!
Hot Apricot Cereal
Ingredients:
1/4 tspn flax seed meal
1/2 tbsp of steel cut oats
2/3 cup warm milk, breast milk, or vanilla soy milk
2 small, peeled, fresh apricot
½ tbsp golden raisins
Directions:
Put all of the ingredients in a small pan, cover and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Purée (for kiddos under 9 mos).
Add more water or breast milk if needed for desired consistency.
This recipe was Mish+Mashed by adding a little extra goodness with the Flaxseed Meal, Soy Milk, and for some extra protein add some crushed walnuts or almonds. This cereal is a great source of magnesium and iron.
