"Formula" baby food for ARFID age regressors 🍼🥤
I'll make a better post with progress pics next time I make some, but I wanted to post about it quickly, since it was such a success.
My small (@bunnnybcy ) has ARFID, which makes it very difficult for him to get much nutrition, and I'm always trying things to make health accessible to him. One way to make "scary" foods accessible is to make them cute or baby-like. This recipe is sort of a "base model," a warm and sweet treat that can be altered later to increase their fruit & whole grain consumption.
Equipment you'll need:
Saucepan
Stirrer
Measuring cups
Stove or hotpad
Blender
Sippy cup or reusable pouches (Link to reusable pouch example)
Refrigerator for storage
Sweet Cinnamon Formula Recipe 😋
Ingredients:
1 cup + 1 cup milk or plant milk of choice (we used vanilla soy milk) 🥛
1/2 cup plain rolled oats 🥣
1 tsp dark brown sugar, or to taste*
1 tsp honey, or to taste 🍯
Cinnamon, to taste
Vanilla extract, to taste
Steps:
🥛 Heat the first cup of milk in your saucepan on the stove. Turn the heat up to medium, or medium-high if you're impatient.
🍯 Stir in the brown sugar and honey, and continue to stir frequently until the milk starts to lightly boil.
🥣 Stir in the 1/2 cup of rolled oats, and turn down the heat to medium, if it isn't already there.
🥄 Stir frequently until the liquid is mostly absorbed, about 5-8 minutes. (The longer you cook it, the smoother your end product will be, which is important for ARFID smalls.)
🆒️ Take off the heat, and let cool for a bit, until you're confident that it won't melt your blender lol.
Pour the oatmeal into your blender, add 1/4 cup milk🥛, and blend until smooth. Check the consistency, and continue adding milk in 1/4 cup amounts until your small approves of the texture. This would also be a convenient time to add more cinnamon, vanilla, honey🍯, or sugar, if they feel the taste is lacking.
Pour into pouches or sippy cups.
You can store leftover formula in the fridge for 3-5 days.
Other formula flavor ideas:
Strawberry 🍓
Banana🍌
Blueberry 🫐
Peach 🍑
Chocolate 🍫
Peanut butter 🥜
Apple pie 🍎
Pumpkin pie 🥧
Sweet potato 🍠
Notes for other carers of little ones with ARFID:
If your small one will tolerate it, adding nuts or seeds during step 1 will yield a more nutritious result, but some may not blend down. Chia seeds, for example, will remain visible and will feel like poppyseeds, which may be off-putting to someone with ARFID, even though they don't taste like anything.
Always remember to introduce new tastes and textures slowly, and allow them to try a new thing multiple times on different days if they're unsure about it. Unsure may just mean unfamiliar, and it'll take them a number of attempts to acquire a taste for it. Uncertainty is a good sign of a future "yes", but don't push them to finish a serving of something they're on the fence about; the pressure may turn it into a "no". Instead, give them the option of putting the rest away for later, and after some time, when they're ready, encourage them to try it again.

here's an easy mug cake recipe ! i wanted to add some extra bits explaining why directions are the way they are so it's a little educational as well, baking science is a hyperfixation of mine and i see people make alot of mistakes that are easily fixed once you know proper techniques :3
icing is optional, but can easily be made by combining powdered sugar and a little bit of milk!
you can also add things to this recipe like cinnamon, remove the cocoa powder and add 2 tblspoons of vanilla extract to make it a vanilla cake, etc.
i hope this was helpful ! sorry if it's too wordy :<

pumpkin’s ‘pick me up’ milk 🥛
˙‧₊☽ ◯ ☾₊‧˙
i’ve been having a night terrors :( so i thought i’d share my little ‘pick me up’ milk recipe & see if it helps for you too <3 i’m not claiming that this it completely mine, it’s probably from somewhere but it helps me hehe <3
˙‧₊☽ ◯ ☾₊‧˙
what you’ll need: milk, syrup, sugar.
directions:
-> pop a small amount of sugar at the bottom of your cutest cup.
-> circle syrup around the mug, the messiest the better <3
-> fill it with milk & pop it in the microwave for a minute to warm up <3.
all done <3
(you can sprinkle it with hot coco power, that’s what i do to make it twice as yummy <3, it’s not really healthy but it’s yummy hehe!)

I made brownies!! :3 They're so good! I love them and they're really simple to make! Here's the recipe!! It's really simple! I promise!
Recipe
226 grams (1 cup, 2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and still warm
½ teaspoon salt
120 grams (1 cup) all-purpose flour
400 grams (2 cups) sugar (granulated, brown, or a combo of the two)
70 grams (⅔ cup) cocoa powder 
4 large eggs
I added about a tablespoon of vanilla extract as well!:3
Preheat the oven to 350ºF/175ºC and position an oven rack to the center position.
Measure out all the ingredients.
TO MAKE THE BROWNIES
Prepare a 9-inch (23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper or non-stick spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour (120 grams, 1 cup), sugar (400 grams, 2 cups), cocoa powder (70 grams, ⅔ cup), and salt (½ teaspoon) until well combined.
Add the warm melted butter (226 grams, 1 cup) and eggs (4 large) into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined. The batter will be quite thick. You can also fold in chocolate chips at this point if you want to make them extra chocolatey.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and use a rubber spatula to smooth out. Bake for 30-45 minutes or until a tester comes out with moist crumbs. Slightly under baking them will keep them extra moist and chewy.
Let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing, they will be gooey straight out of the oven. You can eat them like this if you like, but they need to cool to completely solidify.
Happy baking butterflies!!🦋
P.S.- Tiny babies please ask for help!! I did this while big so please don't get hurt trying to bake sweeties!!🦋

"Pumpkin pie" baby food for my ARFID age regressor -- no blender needed 🥧🍠🎃
Equipment:
Knife 🔪
Cutting board
Microwave-safe dish
Plastic wrap
Microwave
Potato masher
Optional: vegetable peeler
Ingredients:
1 large (or 2 small) sweet potato 🍠
2 Tablespoons butter 🧈
Vanilla soy milk, or milk of choice 🥛
Cinnamon
"Pie spice" spice mix (or whatever you have & enjoy of the following: cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, clove*, mace, star anise) .... (*if using clove, only use a very tiny amount. It's strong!)
Vanilla extract
Honey 🍯
Step 1: peel sweet potato(es), and cut into small chunks. Place into microwave-safe container.
Tumblr media
(My cuts were uneven because I was trying out a new knife-holding method recommended by Julia Child, and because it doesn't really matter for this recipe.)
Step 2: Add a little water to the dish, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave until fork-tender*. (For me, this was 8 minutes, with a break to stir in the middle. Smaller cuts will need less time.)
Tumblr media
*("Fork-tender" means you can easily pierce the chunks with a fork.)
Step 3: Add butter 🧈, milk 🥛, honey 🍯, and spices, and mash together with the potato masher. Keep adding and stirring until you've achieved a taste and texture that your small one enjoys.
Tumblr media
(I forgot to take a photo until 2/3 pouches were filled. Oops).
Step 4: Load into pouches or other serving-sized containers. Bonus points for marking the date and contents (I used dry-erase markers)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These pouches hold a maximum of 7oz, and I filled 3 of them, so I guess this recipe makes roughly 21 oz. (There was some that didn't fit, so it's probably more like 24oz).
