📝 Editor's Note

For first introductions, ensure the mango is ripe and soft for easy blending. You can adjust the texture by adding more water or breastmilk/formula for a thinner purée. Frozen mango can also be used for convenience.

🥕 Ingredients

  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon breastmilk or formula (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Combine the diced mango and rolled oats in a saucepan.
  2. Add water and bring to a gentle boil.
  3. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes until oats are soft.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a blender and purée until smooth.
  5. If desired, add breastmilk or formula for a creamier texture.
  6. Let cool to room temperature before serving.

🍴 Serving Suggestion

Serve the purée at room temperature or slightly warmed. Pair with a small serving of pureed avocado or banana for added creaminess and flavor.

💡 Tips & Tricks

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can freeze portions in ice cube trays for easy meal prep. Adjust the consistency as needed by adding more liquid for younger eaters.
