Ingredients

  • 160g oats
  • 1 medium apple, peeled and cored
  • 1 medium apple, peeled and cored
  • Handful raisins
  • 500ml oat milk
  • 1 tbsp nut butter or tahini
  • Sprinkle of brown sugar (optional)
  • Make this baby friendly: grate the apple instead of cutting into chunks and remove sprinkling of sugar on top and serve before baking for a smoother consistency for 6 month olds.

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/ Gas mark 4. In a microwave proof mixing bowl, soak the oats in a cup of boiling water for around 10 minutes, until all or most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  • While the oats are soaking, peel and roughly chop the apple into small chunks. Add the apple to the oat mixture and all the other ingredients and stir well.
  • Pop the oat mixture into the microwave for 3 minutes, taking out half way through to stir. After 3 minutes most of the liquid should have been absorbed and be the consistency of porridge.
  • Give it a stir and transfer to two greased ramekins. Decorate with extra raisins and a sprinkle of cinnamon and brown sugar and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it stand for 10 minutes. Enjoy warm.
