What is the best way to make homemade cereals?
The easiest way to make your own cereals is to grind up the grains on your own. You may take Rice, Oatmeal, Barley etc and use a blender or food processor (or even a coffee grinder*) to grind the grains into a powder. This powder then becomes your baby cereal. Cook this powder for 15 minutes until a thin soupy consistency is achieved. If you do not want to grind grains for homemade baby cereal, you can cook the grains and then puree them. The only issue with pureeing cooked grains is that they may become pasty. Rice that is pureed is a grain that most often tends to become pasty. If you will be pureeing cooked grains, do it slowly and add liquid slowly. Be sure to keep a close watch as you are pureeing so that you don’t wind up with a paste.
