Baby Banana Flapjacks

These quick and easy to make flapjacks are nutritious. Great for breakfast or a baby snack.
Porridge oats provide a slow energy release and bananas are a good source of potassium which is important for a healthy heart.

Makes 10-12 baby sized portions
Roughly suitable 7mths plus

Ingredients
1 medium ripe banana
150g porridge oats
300ml whole milk

Method:

Heat the oven to 180c (fan assisted)

Stir the oats with the milk.
Mash the banana and add to the oat mixture.
Pour into a small rectangular dish

Cook for 25-30 minutes until brown on top.
Leave to cool and cut into small fingers or squares.

Store in an airtight container. I keep mine in the fridge for up to 2 days. They also freeze well for up to a month so you can take out and defrost the quantity you want as and when you need.

Variations:
Try adding a grated apple or a few chopped unsulphered apricots to the basic banana recipe.

Pea tip:
To save on washing up just mix everything together in the cooking dish.
