Ingredients
- 1/4 cup brown rice flour
- 1 cup water or breast milk/formula
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the brown rice flour and water until smooth.
- Place over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes or until very thick and creamy.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. If desired, thin with breast milk or formula to desired consistency.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Discard any uneaten cereal after feeding.
Tips
- Always test the temperature before feeding to avoid burning baby's mouth.
- Store leftover cereal in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat with a little liquid.
- Once baby is ready, you can mix in pureed fruits or vegetables.
