Banana makes this oat porridge creamy without added sugar. Its thickness changes as it cools, so add water when necessary to keep it comfortably spoonable.
Simmer oats in water over low heat until fully tender, adding a splash more water if needed.
Mash ripe banana thoroughly and stir into the cooked warm oats until evenly combined.
Check the texture, thin to a spoonable consistency if needed, then cool before serving.
Cook oats until thoroughly soft and mash the banana completely for early eaters. Serve lukewarm on a spoon rather than in a sticky lump; introduce more texture as skills develop.
Blend smooth.
Serve mashed.
Plain oats and banana contain no intentionally added major allergens; check oats for any relevant cross-contact information.
Cool uneaten porridge promptly and refrigerate covered. Reheat thoroughly with a splash of water, stir and cool before serving; discard the baby's bowl leftovers.
