Soft and chewy, this oat bake is perfect for the entire family, even weaning babies from 6 months (once they have got the hang of eating finger food!). It makes a delicious breakfast, snack or pudding and any leftovers can be frozen.
Oats are full of beta glucans which are important for immunity and are an excellent source of calcium and fibre. The egg and the milk give this recipe some protein as a well as choline which is an important brain food for developing a good memory, muscle control and mood.
Ingredients
- 3 Bananas (two mashed, 1 sliced lengthways into three)
- 1 cup Whole Milk (or almond or oat milk)
- 2 Eggs (or two flax eggs – 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed combined with 4 tablespoons water)
- 2 cups Oats (choose GF if needed)
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Mixed Spice (be generous)
- 1 tbsp Maple Syrup (or honey. Leave out for babies under 12 months)
- 1 handful Raspberries
- Butter (or coconut oil) to grease the baking dish
