Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp rolled oats
  • 60 ml water or milk
  • 2 tbsp plain full-fat yogurt
  • 1/2 banana, ripe
  • 2 tbsp stewed apple, peeled

Preparation

  1. Simmer the oats with safe water until fully softened, stirring and adding more water if needed; a brief soak alone is not enough for this cooked-oat version.

  2. Peel and mash the ripe banana with fully stewed, tender apple until smooth, without any firm chunks.

  3. Stir the cooked soft oats into the fruit mash. Allow to cool, then mix in plain pasteurised unsweetened yogurt.

  4. Add a small amount of suitable liquid if needed to keep the muesli moist and spoonable; do not offer hard raw muesli, nuts, seeds or granola clusters.

  5. Serve promptly at a suitable temperature and discard anything already offered in the baby's bowl.

Serving by Age

For young eaters, muesli should consist of completely softened plain oats and mashed soft fruit, not crunchy granola.

9 months+

Serve as a soft, thick mash on a spoon; you can leave a little texture but ensure oats are fully softened and fruit is well mashed.

Allergen Information

Contains milk from the yogurt and from cow's milk if used instead of water. Use plain pasteurised yogurt; check oat packages for wheat, barley or rye cross-contact and any packaged fruit additions.

Storage
