Fruity Oats

AGE APPROPRIATE: 6mnths+ 
Mommy can eat this too with a cup of coffee 

Breakfast always seems to be a bit of a bore when it comes to little hands and little tummies.  As much as I would love to lay out a buffet breakfast spread for LittleRaf, my the brtain, and heavy eyelids do not seem to agree.  So what to make these little darlings that doesn't come out of a box?

I remember as a young child , before leaving for school, mum would make a big pot of oats with sliced banana and cold milk poured on top.  These were not the ready made oats, they were raw rolled oats, cooked traditionally in a pot with water and gradually adding milk.  I thought this would take up alot of time, but it really didn't.
Before ripping open that Oats- so -easy packet, give it a second thought, BUY NATURAL,UNPROCESSED, UNBLEACHED FOOD.  Organic oats are not expensive to buy.

What you will need:

Some raw oats

Some blueberries

1 banana

1 apple

Some milk

Touch of cinnamon.

1.Slowly take the oats with some water to the boil.

2. Once boiling point has been reached, slowly start to add milk and lower heat.

3. Gradually keep adding milk if liquid in the oats is drying  up. (YOU CAN ADD MORE WATER THAN MILK)

4. Add the blueberries and allow oats to slowly cook. (Tip: I freeze fresh blueberries and throw these in frozen when i need them)

5. Mash the banana with a fork and incorporate it into the pot of oats.

6. Add milk/water for a smoother texture.  

7. Grate the apple and add to the oats, stir it all through.

8. Allow oats to cool, then serve.

IF  YOU FEEL THAT WHOLE OATS ARE TOO CHUNKY FOR YOUR BABY TO EAT, TRY PLACING RAW OATS IN BLENDER TO GRIND INTO A POWDER FORM. - This was how I started LittleRaf on oats.

Enjoy your brekkie, mommies & babies!
