Ingredients

10 heaped tbsp porridge oats or 2 packets of instant oatmeal (or a mix or oats, millet flakes or barley flakes to provide a mix of grains to your baby’s diet)

10 tbsp full fat cow’s milk (or any milk really.)

1 to 2 tsp ground cinnamon

½ mashed banana (optional)

Strawberry jam (optional)

Method

Pour the oats into a small, flat bottomed microwave proof dish and pour over the milk. Add the cinnamon and mix together. Press the oat mix down into the dish with the back of the spoon and cook in the microwave for 2 minutes on high.

Cut into fingers and serve once cool.

If you don’t want to use the microwave, these work just as well in the oven. Heat the oven to 375F and cook for 15 to 30 minutes.
