    Multi-Grain Oatmeal - Andrea Meyers

    I’ve been making this since my oldest child turned eighteen months old. My boys gobble it up every morning and often ask for seconds! This is thick, hearty, stick-to-your-ribs oatmeal that is made from scratch, but it’s super easy and the recipe makes enough for several days. I make it thick because it sticks to the spoon, thus helping little ones to scoop it up while learning to feed themselves.

    Sometimes I add 2 tablespoons of cracked wheat to the mix, which requires an extra ¼ cup of milk. For older kids, sprinkle raisins or dried cherries or cranberries on top before serving.

    Warning: This recipe uses honey, which is not safe for children under the age of 1 year.
