Ingredients
Base:
- 1 cup oats (pre-soak if serving to babies under 12 months)
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 3 cubes Oats Apple Chia Purée (or substitute with your favourite baby-friendly purée)
- 1/2 cup frozen berries
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Gelatin Mixture:
- 3 tbsp gelatin (we recommend Nutra Organics for high-quality gelatin)
- 6 tbsp filtered water
Method
- Combine the base ingredients in a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring until the oats absorb all the liquid.
- Add any additional ingredients you’d like and mix thoroughly.
- In a separate bowl, bloom the gelatin by mixing it with water and letting it sit until it thickens and turns spongy.
- Stir the bloomed gelatin into the warm oat mixture, ensuring it melts completely and combines evenly.
- Pour the mixture into a silicone mold or a shallow glass dish and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until fully set.
- Slice into finger-sized pieces for younger babies or bite-sized cubes for 9 months and older.
- Serve plain, spread with your favourite topping, or use as a dipper.

Storage - Keep gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Health Benefits of Baby-Friendly Gummies
These Christmas Gummies are a simple and delicious way to offer nutrient-rich wholefoods to your baby. Using Le Puree's Oats Apple Chia Purée adds natural sweetness and essential nutrients like fibre and omega-3 fatty acids, supporting your baby's digestion and brain development. The combination of oats and chia seeds ensures slow-release energy and essential nutrients to fuel their growth.
Gelatin plays a key role in promoting healthy skin, hair, and nail development while also supporting gut health. It's also packed with protein, which is essential for growing babies. Choosing a high-quality gelatin like Nutra Organics ensures your baby gets the best source of these benefits.
Cinnamon adds a festive flavour and contains powerful antioxidants that can support the immune system, especially during the holiday season. Including berries in this recipe brings a dose of vitamin C and natural colour, making it visually appealing for toddlers while providing additional immune-boosting benefits.
