Banana and berry porridge recipe

A deliciously creamy warm breakfast with added fruit. If you're making this for children over 5 years, simply swap to lower-fat milks and yoghurts.

Age: 12 months and older

Prep: 5 mins

Cook: 5 mins

Portions: 1

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp (20g) porridge oats
  • 120ml full-fat milk
  • 1/2 small banana
  • 10g frozen berries
  • 1 tsp plain full-fat yoghurt

Method

  1. Put the porridge oats and milk into a saucepan. Heat up, stirring constantly, until the porridge thickens. Then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring until the oats are cooked.

  2. Slice the banana into finger-sized sticks.

  3. Stir the blueberries into the porridge and heat through until soft. Add a little more milk if your baby prefers it a little runnier.

  4. Information:

    Try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon once the porridge is cooked for a warm wintery flavour.

  5. Pour the porridge into a bowl, add the yoghurt and serve with the banana sticks.

Weaning tip

Remember, babies don’t need salt or sugar added to their food (or cooking water).
