Homemade Baby Food Peas Recipe

You'll save so much time and money when you make this Homemade Baby Food Peas Recipe using your Instant Pot!

Prep Time5 mins

Cook Time3 mins

Total Time8 mins

Course: Sides

Cuisine: American

Servings: 4 cups {or 16 2-oz. servings}

Ingredients

• 2 lbs. Frozen Sweet Peas {32 oz.}
• 3 1/4 cups Water

Instructions

• Place frozen peas in the bottom of Instant Pot, and pour 1 1/2 cups water over peas.
• Select Pressure Cook, Low, and change time to 3 minutes.
• Preheating will begin 10 seconds after settings are selected.
• Once peas are done, do a quick release for the pressure {I like to do a gradual quick release to avoid any messy splatters... basically a quick release of steam in a few gradual nudges}.
• Now transfer cooked peas to your blender, and discard any excess liquid in the instant pot.
• Pour remaining 1 3/4 cup water over peas in blender, and blend or pulse {stirring as necessary}, until you reach your desired consistency.  For an even smoother puree, simply add more water 1 tbsp. at a time.
• Transfer Green Pea Puree to OXO Tot Baby Blocks, pop on the lids, and store in Refrigerator or Freezer.
• When baby is ready to eat, pull one out at a tie and allow it to come to room temperature prior to feeding Baby.

Notes

• It will take around 15 minutes for your Instant Pot to initially reach pressure before cooking begins.
• In the refrigerator, store up to 3 days.
• In the freezer, store up to 3 months.

Wasn’t that so EASY? Now you can stock the fridge and freezer with healthy food for Baby!

Tips from Your Frugal Friends for Homemade Baby Food:

Paulette said: “I found it was so much more cost efficient to make my own. Plus, I knew there was no additives, just wholesome goodness. I mashed up large quantities of a single fruit or vegetable and froze. No spices or sugars added, let the palate learn the natural taste. One new food per week so could check for allergies.”

Heidi said: “I made food for both of my boys… never bought baby food.”

Kathy said: “If there weren’t many spices in the food, I mashed up and feed them what we ate.”

Michele writes: “My girls are 16 & 18 now. I did make all their baby food. I got fresh veggies from relatives that had gardens.”
