I loooove porridge! I have memories of my dad putting oats in a pot with water before going to bed so it could
get a good soaking overnight before cooking. Then somehow he would end up big globs of it through his beard…telling me with a hearty laugh it was for his morning tea! I also remember in my teen years making porridge and smothering it with brown sugar...I wouldn't dream of that now.

| Lucys Fruity Porridge |
Todays recipe is easy to make and is a regular on cold morning for Lucy. She loves this fruity mix and I reckon it’s a perfect starter for any busy toddlers day! I have some other ideas for oats which I’ll test on her over the next couple of weeks…and keep you posted on how they go.
Put into a pot…
2 ‘good’ tablespoons rolled oats (quick cook type, approx 15g)
2-3 chopped peach slices
1 tablespoon or so of tinned baby apple (or home-made stewed apple if you have it)
¼ cup milk
¼ cup water
Mix together then heat gently to a simmer, stirring frequently, and allow to cook for a minute or 2. Cool to tot friendly temperature and serve.
I also give the meal a light dusting of cinnamon too for some extra flavour.
Lucy loves this and I’m sure you could double it up for a larger kiddies.
Enjoy!
I choose tinned fruit in juice, not syrup, and chop half a can in advance. As I try to be super organised, I chop up half a tin of peaches to store in the fridge for use throughout the week, and Lincoln has the rest with his cereal.
Baby apple is only good for a day once opened, so I freeze the rest and defrost as I need it.
