- Little Ones
Introducing gentle flavour with spices like cinnamon is a great way to help babies explore a variety of tastes and flavours. It also makes eating with your baby a more enjoyable experience. This creamy bowl of porridge with gentle warmth is the perfect for those colder mornings.
Ingredients
Ingredients for the puree:
300g Butternut squash
2 tbsp peanut butter
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Ingredients for the porridge:
60g Oats
120 ml Yeo Valley Whole Milk
Serving suggestion: serve with a dollop of yogurt and a sprinkle of ground flaxseeds.
Method
Steam the butternut squash for approximately 15 minutes, or until soft.
Blend with the peanut butter, cinnamon and nutmeg until smooth.
Reserve a portion for immediate use and freeze the remainder in ice cube trays.
To prepare the porridge, combine the oats and milk in a saucepan and cook over a low to medium heat.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of purée, or 1 to 2 frozen cubes, and cook for around 5 minutes, stirring, until creamy and heated through. If using a frozen cube, you will need to cook for longer and ensure it is piping hot throughout.
Serve with a dollop of yogurt and some ground seeds.
