Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Rolled Oats

Instructions

  • I prep my rolled oats for making baby porridge in bulk. I blitz approximately 1 cup of oats in my food processor until fine and store it in an airtight container in the pantry. (This makes around 20 small servings)
  • To make 1 small serving, Take 1 tablespoon of the baby porridge oats, and mix with 3 tablespoon of milk in a microwave-proof bowl
  • Microwave on high for 20 seconds, stir, microwave for a further 20 seconds and stir, allow to cool before serving
