We're always looking to bump up the nutritional profile for many of the things we feed our 2-year old toddler. One of the ways we do this is to just make a basic hot cereal (we like Bob's Red Mill multi-grain cereals -- 7-, 9- or 10-grain) and then add coconut milk (our own idea) and a little flax seed oil (inspired by Le Pain Quotidien's Omega-3 Oatmeal).
The coconut milk adds a nice nutty flavor to the cereal as well as adding extra fat (essential to toddler development) while the flax seed oil adds extra protein and omega-3's.
Dylan loves it!
Ingredients
