- Thoroughly wash the zucchini and, if desired, peel it for an even smoother puree.
- Cut the zucchini into small cubes and steam them for about 10 minutes until they are very soft; reserve some of the steaming liquid.
- Add the 40 grams of oats to a small pot along with the steamed zucchini and a little of the reserved liquid from the zucchini to help soften the oats.
- Warm the mixture over low heat for 3-4 minutes while stirring gently to combine the flavors and ensure everything is softened.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely.
- Blend the cooled mixture in a baby-friendly blender until a smooth pureed consistency is achieved. If the blend is too thick, incorporate a bit more of the reserved steaming liquid.
- Check the temperature before serving to ensure it is safe for your baby.
