Yummy Baby Pureed Carrots and Apples with Bulgar Wheat


I love bulgar wheat. It tastes great in salads like tabbouleh and is high in fiber and protein.  So why not let your baby enjoy the benefits of eating bulgar as well!  This recipe is a great combination of vegetable and grains.  The apples bring a little sweetness to the dish.  Plus adding cinnamon is a great way to introduce new and interesting spices.

My son ate this up like it was thanksgiving!  Enjoy!

Makes:  9 baby servings (50 ml or roughly 2 oz servings)

Ingredients

3 medium sized carrots, peeled and sliced in half
2 red apples, peeled, cored, and sliced in quarters
1/4 cup cooked bulgar wheat
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1.  Place raw carrots in medium sized pot and cover in cold water.  Cover pot with lid.
2.  Place pot on medium-high heat bringing carrots to a boil.
3.  Add sliced apples to the pot of carrots, lower heat and cook further until both carrots and apples are cooked through and soft, roughly 15 minutes.
4.  Place cooked carrots & apples in food processor and blend OR place vegetables in a mixing bowl and blend using a hand blender. If necessary, add a couple of tablespoon of cooking water from the pot to your mixture to give a smoother consistency.
5.  Mix in cinnamon.
6.  Add bulgar wheat and stir.
7.  Serve immediately to your little one and freeze the rest in baby storage pots.
