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
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.
Slice the banana into finger-sized sticks.
Stir the blueberries into the porridge and heat through until soft. Add a little more milk if your baby prefers it a little runnier.
Pour the porridge into a bowl, add the yoghurt and serve with the banana sticks.
Try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon once the porridge is cooked for a warm wintery flavour.
Weaning tip
Remember, babies don’t need salt or sugar added to their food (or cooking water).
