Name: Sugar-Free Strawberry Semolina Porridge for Babies
Total time: 20 min
Yield: 4

Introduction

This mild strawberry semolina porridge is perfect for the early summer strawberry season. Fresh strawberries are mixed with fine wheat semolina and familiar breast milk or formula to create a creamy texture. This combination is wonderfully gentle on the stomach and offers a great way to explore new flavors.

Ingredients

200 ml prepared formula or breast milk
20 g soft wheat semolina (organic is a great choice)
50 g fresh strawberries
1 tsp mild rapeseed oil for babies

Instructions

Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the green stems, and puree them very finely.
Gently heat the prepared formula or breast milk in a small saucepan, making sure it does not boil.
Whisk in the wheat semolina to prevent any lumps from forming.
Allow the porridge to thicken briefly while stirring, then remove it from the heat.
Stir the strawberry puree and the rapeseed oil into the semolina until a smooth mixture forms.
Let the porridge cool down and always test the temperature on your wrist or lip before feeding.

Variations and Tips

Once strawberry season is over, you can easily adapt this recipe. Steamed and pureed apples or pears make a wonderful alternative.
For the very first tastes, you can reduce the amount of fruit and start with just one or two spoonfuls.
This porridge is best enjoyed fresh. You can store any leftovers in the refrigerator until the next day.
Parents can make a larger batch for themselves and add a dash of cinnamon or chopped nuts for extra flavor.

Allergy and Safety Information

This recipe contains wheat, which means it includes gluten. If you choose to use cow milk, it will also contain dairy.
Always introduce new ingredients like strawberries one at a time and in small amounts. This helps you observe how your child reacts.
Ensure the porridge is very smooth and completely free of chunks.
If you have any uncertainties about starting solid foods, please speak with your pediatrician.
