My son loved these! He’s 8 months old & MUST feed himself, which means breakfast can be a bit boring with toast all the time (he has an egg allergy). What I loved about them was when he’d pulled them apart I could easily re-form new balls together. Plus they took two second to make.
Great to hear! These are great for a ‘non-mess meal’. Your bub sounds very confident in how and what he eats… well done Mum š
Amazing! I am with you! We have these at least once a week. Glad bub loved them x
I made this for breakfast today, my baby is 6 months old has has been eating solids for a few weeks now. This is the most he has EVER eaten, he loved them! I even got them out for lunch and he saw it my hand and started waving his arms in the air! Thanks so much for the recipe!!
Also.. I subbed milk for breastmilk ? (I have left them sitting in the fridge haha I wonder if my husband will think they are treats I made for him hahah)
Amazing to hear! Great idea to add breast milk. Hope hubby didn’t mistake them for protein balls!
Fabulous! And your whole website looks great! Well done you
Thank you lovely Stacey x
Hi Rachel – I am so keen to give these to my Bub (7mo BLW from 6) but I’ve tried to make them 3 times now and just cannot get the consistency right to make them hold? Also the blueberries disintegrate so they look nothing like yours! What am I doing wrong!?!? Help!
Are you using quick oats? Using a pan on the stove top? And not too much milk?
Can I use frozen blueberries or are the ones you used fresh only mama?
I used fresh, but frozen should be fine as well x
I only have rolled oats – can I use these or do I need to vary the recipe?
You can use rolled oats! We use all types of oats ?
Hi my son has lactose allergy , can i use his formula milk as substitute?
Sure can! Let us know how you go! X
Hi! Look yummy, going try it tonight. Do you think I can make it in bulk and freeze some of it?
sure can! we freeze them all the time. then defrost in fridge overnight.
