About this recipe
Whole Milk Cereal Purée Thermomix TM7 is a wholesome homemade baby food recipe that turns whole milk, barley grain and mixed fresh fruit into a silky purée in minutes. Searching for easy baby purée recipes or weaning ideas for your all-in-one kitchen machine? This preparation shows exactly why the TM7 excels at first foods: the barley grain is ground to a fine, easily digestible flour directly in the mixing bowl, before whole milk and soft fresh fruit are blended into a velvety consistency without a single lump. The natural sweetness of ripe banana, pear or apple means no added sugar is needed, making it ideal for babies from six months and toddlers at breakfast or as a soothing snack. Because everything happens in one bowl, cleanup is quick, and the texture can be adjusted from smooth to slightly chunky as your child grows.
Preparation tips
- Choose ripe, soft fruit such as banana, pear or peeled apple for the smoothest result; firmer fruit can be steamed briefly in the Varoma first so the barley purée blends without any hard pieces remaining.
- Add the whole milk gradually while blending to control the thickness; a thinner consistency suits younger babies, while a thicker texture works better for toddlers learning to eat with a spoon.
- Prepare a double batch of ground barley flour and store it in an airtight jar, so a fresh portion of cereal purée is ready in minutes whenever your little one is hungry.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free version: replace the whole milk with a lactose-free baby milk or oat drink; the ground barley blends just as smoothly and the fresh fruit keeps the purée naturally sweet and creamy.
- Seasonal version: swap the mixed fruit according to the season, think strawberry and peach in summer or baked apple with a pinch of cinnamon in winter for a warming festive twist.
