As it's Breakfast Week this week I thought I'd publish one of Isabella's favourite breakfast finger foods. I had
been wanting to make Isabella some oat based breakfast bars for a while, but
was struggling to find any recipes that weren't full of sugar. So I made these blueberry and cinnamon oat bars, though you could easily replace the blueberries with any other soft berries if you'd prefer. They went down extremely well
with Isabella, even if a bit messy!
What you'll need:
Handful of fresh blueberries
2 Handfuls of porridge oats
Splash of full fat milk
125g Greek yogurt
Sprinkle of cinnamon, optional
What to do:
1) Preheat the oven at 180'C. Line a small
ovenproof dish with greaseproof paper.
2) Combine the oats, milk and yogurt together to
create a thick mixture.
3) Spread half of the mixture onto the base of
the ovenproof dish. Sprinkle over the blueberries to create a layer.
4) Spread over the other half of the mixture,
sprinkle with cinnamon if using and gently press in the last few blueberries
onto the top.
5) Bake for 20-25 minutes or until it feels firm
and springs back if pressed. Allow to cool.
6) Once completely cool cut into bars and let
your little one enjoy them!
Have you got any yummy weaning recipes you'd

I adore blueberries so this really appeals to me #TwinklyTuesday
ReplyDeleteMmm, I love blueberries and so does my toddler. I think he would love these and I have all the ingredients in the house, might make these later if I find time to do some baking!xx #TwinklyTuesday
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe! Good for adults too! ;) x
ReplyDeleteVery tasty! If you fancy them a bit sweeter you could add maple syrup or a drizzle of Sweet Freedom, which is completely natural :)

ReplyDeleteThey sound good - I'm tempted to make some for MOH (who clearly isn't weaning!) #TheList
ReplyDeleteLove blueberries and these look magnificent! Thanks for linking up to #tastytuesdays x
ReplyDeleteCan these be frozen? Look super tasty!
ReplyDeleteI've personally not tried freezing them, but I would imagine not as the blueberries may go a bit mushy!
DeleteI second wanting to know if they can be frozen? My 11 month old would love these
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't imagine so because I think the blueberries would go really squashy in the middle - they're best enjoyed fresh :)
DeleteI froze them and they were great! Did a single layer of oat mixture and then pushed blueberries on top! Microwaved the frozen bars for 30sec and they were good to go!
ReplyDeleteFrom the US... are porridge oats the same as old-fashioned or rolled oats? Would love to make this for my little guy!
ReplyDeleteCan you use frozen blueberries?
ReplyDeleteI can't see why not, although they will be messier as they don't have quite the same structure :)
