Another baby porridge. My 5 month old is loving these. With this one I’ve actually split the mix in two to have one batch of porridge and a batch of just the fruit purée for the times you just want fruit.
The fruit and porridge versions can be freezed as it thaws and reheats nicely.
The porridge consistency can be easily thinned with a little cooled boiled water or thickened with more oat cereal. Each baby’s preference on consistency can differ. Tweak this to suit your baby.
You can cook the oat cereal and fruit all at once but I find it goes too gluggy.
I make batches of oat cereal at a time to prevent needing to blitz the oats first each time. See my Oat Cereal recipe here.
Tip: I freeze my baby food in silicone cups (if I have run out of ice cube trays/pouches) on a tray then pop the puree “pods” into ziplock bags or freezer containers and freeze until needed.Other baby porridges:
