Start by prepping the rolled oats. If you want to make this recipe in bulk, you can blitz about 1 cup of oats in a food processor until they’re finely ground. This will give you the perfect texture for your baby. Once powdered, store the oats in an airtight container in your pantry. Prepping ahead like this means you're ready to whip up a meal any time!

For each small serving, you will need 1 tablespoon of the prepared oat flour. Combine this with 3 tablespoons of your chosen milk in a microwave-safe bowl.

Next, mix in 1 teaspoon of mashed banana and 1 teaspoon of apple sauce. This not only enhances the flavor but also maintains the creamy texture that babies love. Stir everything together until well combined.

Place the bowl in the microwave and heat the mixture on high for 20 seconds. After the timer goes off, take it out and give it a good stir. This will help ensure an even consistency.

Return the bowl to the microwave for another 20 seconds and stir again. By breaking up any lumps during the cooking process, you’ll ensure your baby enjoys a smooth porridge.

Let the porridge cool for a minute or two before serving it. This is super important! A hot bowl can be tempting for little fingers, but we don’t want any scalded tongues here.
