These porridge bars are sort of like a soft cereal or granola bar. They mix up really quickly and freeze well. These bars are adapted from the porridge bites I posted here and also inspired by my pal Fiona, who has her own version of them. I think they are better for slightly older babies (we first gave them to MiniMe at 9 months) who are confident chewing because the bar is much denser than the bites.
Ingredients:
Makes 8-10 bars
1 cup oats
1 mashed banana mixed with enough milk to make 1 cup of liquid
handful of blueberries
PRE HEAT Oven to 180F
Line a 2 lb loaf tin with parchment paper or foil
In a bowl mix all ingredients together and let rest for about 10 mins, until it starts to look like porridge.
Spread evenly into the loaf tin.
Bake for about 25-30 mins until the top is golden and the mixture feels firm.
Allow to cool completely before removing from tin and slicing.
I would suggest freezing most of these in a ziploc bag once they are cooled and storing the remainder in an airtight container in the fridge. They don't keep fresh long so it is best to freeze them. The up side is that they defrost really quickly (like within an hour).
