My kids always know something is up when I have several sets of pans out and my apron. I rarely use it unless I am planning on doing a lot of baking. Well I did a ton this past weekend. I spent hours trying new things because I was challenged to create something fun and interesting with baby cereal. I know, right! Baby cereal. I used to make things with my son’s cereal way back in the day.  I always used the Gerber Oatmeal Cereal then so I decided to try it first. Gerber offers 4 different types of cereals, Single-Grain, Multi-Grain, Oatmeal & Banana, or Lil’ Bits Oatmeal Banana Strawberry

I made Strawberry & Blueberry Pancake Muffins. I had never made pancake muffins before and I have to admit that I failed the first time. I added too much fresh fruit. And I actually used all of my fresh blueberries. So I tried again with frozen blueberries and almost all of my strawberries and it came out great! I love the fact that by using cereal I know it’s iron-fortified.  Also lots of iron and it has Vitablocks blend of B Vitamins, Vitamins E and C, iron, zinc, and calcium.

My baby was certainly impressed. She ate two of them right away. And when I say right away, I mean she tried to shove half of the muffin in her mouth.

Gerber has a whole range of products made for children now. My five year old loves the yogurt blends even if he calls it ‘baby food’.  I decided to use yogurt and the oatmeal cereal to make some apple cinnamon muffins. I will add that recipe to my blog later but I wanted to show how they turned out!
