Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp rolled oats
  • 120 ml water or breast milk or formula
  • 1/2 banana, ripe
  • 1 tsp tahini (runny sesame paste)

Preparation

  1. Simmer the plain oats in the measured safe water, stirring until fully softened; add water as needed. Do not use dry, chewy oat flakes.

  2. Mash the ripe banana thoroughly with no firm pieces.

  3. Stir banana through the fully cooked oats. Add the tahini and stir until it is completely dispersed, without sticky concentrated paste.

  4. If using breast milk or correctly prepared infant formula instead of some of the water, stir it into the cooked porridge after removing the pan from the heat, following the milk or formula handling instructions.

  5. Blend or mash further if needed for a moist, smooth spoonable texture. Cool to a suitable serving temperature and supervise.

Serving by Age

6 months+

Blend or mash into a smooth, thin porridge with no lumps for younger babies.

9 months+

Serve as a thicker porridge or soft mash with small, soft oat texture; avoid sticky clumps.

Allergen Information
