Banana Oat Porridge + Peanut Powder for Babies (6-12 months)

A soft banana-oat porridge can carry a measured amount of finely ground peanut without leaving thick nut-butter or powder clumps. The key is cooking the oats completely and stirring the peanut powder all the way through.

  • Age Range6-12 months
  • Prep 2 min · Cook 7 minutes
  • DifficultyEasy
  • Allergen InformationContains: Peanuts

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp (about 10g) plain quick oats
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) safe water, plus more as needed
  • 1/2 ripe banana, peeled and mashed
  • 1/2 tsp plain finely ground peanut powder (100% peanut; no added sugar or salt)

Preparation

  1. Bring the measured water to a gentle simmer. Add the oats and cook according to the package directions, stirring and adding extra water until the oats are completely soft.

  2. Peel and mash the ripe banana until there are no firm pieces. Stir it into the cooked oats.

  3. Measure the finely ground peanut powder and stir thoroughly into the warm porridge; break up every dry powder pocket or sticky clump. Add safe water until the mixture is smooth, moist and easily spoonable.

  4. Allow to cool to feeding temperature. For a first peanut introduction, follow your baby's individual allergy plan and offer a small amount while supervising.

Serving by Age

Offer from a spoon as a soft moist porridge, not as dry powder or a thick sticky paste. Introduce peanut in an age-appropriate form, with baby seated upright and supervised. This small peanut quantity is not a validated allergen-maintenance dose.

6 months+

Smooth, moist, fully cooked oat and banana porridge with peanut powder completely dispersed; no dry or sticky clumps.

9 months+

Storage
