Rice Cereal Recipe for Baby

Rice cereal is often baby's first food. No need to buy a commercial baby cereal though. You can make your own rice cereal for baby from brown rice.

Step One... Make Rice Powder

Add brown rice to a blender and blend until you have rice powder. I like to do this in batches of 1/2 cup and store it in an airtight container. Depending on the size of your blender, you may be able to blend more or less of the rice at a time.


Step Two ... Prepare the Rice Cereal

1 cup of water
1/4 cup of rice powder

Bring the water to a boil. Add the rice powder while stirring the liquid. Allow it to simmer for 10 minutes while continuing to stir.

At this point, you can mix in fruit purees if desired. If the mixture is too thick, add a little boiled water, formula or breast milk as needed.
