Baby Raspberry Coconut Macaroon Oatmeal Bowl
Written by Dietitian & Mom: Elis Halenko

Wholesome, soft-textured, and naturally sweet—this baby breakfast is a gentle intro to solids.
Looking for a quick, nourishing, baby-approved breakfast that’s as cute as it is comforting? This Raspberry Coconut Macaroon Oat Bowl is soft, simple, and subtly sweet with flavors your little one will love—and maybe you will too.
Inspired by the texture and flavor of a coconut macaroon, this warm oat bowl is perfect for babies learning to self-feed or just starting solids. The oats cook up soft and creamy, mashed raspberries add natural sweetness and vitamin C, and the coconut brings in healthy fats and delicious flavor.
Best part? It takes under 5 minutes to make and is totally customizable for baby-led weaning or spoon-feeding.
