Ingredients

1 tablespoon Rolled Oats
3 tablespoon Milk

Instructions

I prep my rolled oats for making baby porridge in bulk. I blitz approximately 1 cup of oats in my food processor until fine and store it in an airtight container in the pantry. (This makes around 20 small servings)
To make 1 small serving, Take 1 tablespoon of the baby porridge oats, and mix with 3 tablespoon of milk in a microwave-proof bowl
Microwave on high for 20 seconds, stir, microwave for a further 20 seconds and stir, allow to cool before serving

Notes

You can make up the baby porridge in any quantity. Just keep the ratio of 1 portion of oats to 3 portions of milk (1:3)

You can add any fruit purée you like to the cooked baby porridge or serve it plain, below are some ideas for flavoring the baby porridge

Mashed or purée banana
Apple purée or grated apple (for older babies managing textures)
Pear
Blueberry
Cinnamon
Vanilla
