Make Your Own Baby Rice Cereal

Be the first to write a review

By , About.com Guide

You can make your own baby rice cereal rather simply in a coffee bean grinder. You might be able to use a food processor as well, but I've found that the coffee grinder is more suitable for grinding the grains into the fine powder you'll use to make your baby's cereal.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup rice
  • 1 cup water

Preparation:

  1. You can use either white or brown rice. Place the rice in a coffee grinder and pulse for 10 second bursts until the rice has become a fine powder.
  2. Bring the water to boil in a small saucepan.
  3. Slowly add the rice powder to prevent clumping.
  4. Whisk continually as the mixture simmers for 10 minutes.
  5. Mix in breastmilk, formula or puréed fruits as desired.
