Tropical Porridge Fingers

Porridge Fingers are one of the best breakfast recipes for a baby or toddler. The original recipe came from the Baby Led Weaning Cookbook, but me being the creative soul that I am, didn't stick to the recipe for very long!
No need to use cutlery to eat this yummy breakfast!!

Fletcher's favourite is the Tropical Porridge Fingers, and I now make it for him once a week!

Ingredients:
3 tbs rolled oats (not the quick cooking kind)
4 tbs rice milk*
a good shake of chia seeds
1 tsp coconut
1 tsp sultanas

*(I tried using Almond milk - epic fail! 
Zymil works for those who can have dairy)

Method:
1. Combine the rolled oats and the milk in a microwave proof bowl. Allow the oats time to soak in some of the milk, approx 1min.
2. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
3. Cook in the microwave on high for 2min.
4. Immediately remove from the bowl by using a spoon to softly unstick it from the sides.
5. Cut into "fingers" for a baby just starting out, or cut in half for a more experienced bub.
6. Allow to cool, and then serve to your bubba... and watch them devour it!!

NOTE
~ For a non-tropical version, omit the coconut & sultanas.

Other flavours that work....
~ Frozen blueberries
~ Mashed banana (although personally.. yuck!)
~ Goji berries
