This spoonable pudding combines thoroughly cooked rice, tender apple, banana and unsweetened culinary coconut milk. The grain must be fully soft, and coconut milk is not a replacement for infant formula or breast milk.
Rinse dry rice if directed by the packet, then simmer in safe water until completely tender; add more water or time if necessary.
Wash, peel and core apple, remove seeds and simmer pieces with rice until the fruit crushes with a fork.
Once rice and apple are soft, stir in the unsweetened coconut milk and heat gently, adjusting water to a moist porridge.
Mash or blend fully cooked rice and apple until smooth or softly textured without dense rice clumps.
Stir through mashed banana and optional cinnamon; cool to safe feeding temperature and refrigerate untouched rice portions promptly.
Cook until each rice grain and apple piece is completely tender; mash to a moist, spoonable pudding without dense sticky rice clumps. Let it cool and serve only within the recorded 7m+ range.
Not intended before this recipe's recorded 7m+ range; this texture field is not an earlier-age recommendation.
Serve as a soft, thick mash with very small, soft fruit pieces mixed in; ensure rice is fully broken down.
Rice, apple and banana do not intentionally add a standard major allergen. Check the chosen unsweetened coconut milk for additives, shared-facility warnings and individual coconut allergy advice; coconut classifications vary by jurisdiction.
Cool cooked rice within one hour and refrigerate untouched portions promptly; use within 24 hours. Reheat once thoroughly until steaming hot throughout and cool before feeding. Discard leftovers from baby's bowl.
