Cook oats separately with water following the packet until fully soft.
Combine, mash to a moist consistency, stir in oil and cool.
Offer smooth moist porridge or a soft mash without hard carrot or apple pieces.
Creamy fruit–veg porridge.
Thick mash with soft flakes.
Plain oats may have gluten-grain cross-contact; check packaging and any milk additions.
