Ingredients
- 6 oz (1 1/2 cups) rolled oats*
- 6 oz (approx 3/4 cup) dried cranberries (or substitute with another dried fruit your baby enjoys)
- 2 tbsp wheat germ (a nutritious addition, but not essential)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 10 fl oz (1 1/4 cup) milk (I used whole milk, but you can use reduced fat milk for older children and adults)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
-
*If you use quick cooking oats in this recipe, you will need less milk (probably just under 8 fl oz / 1 cup) and a shorter cooking time (30 to 40 mins or so).
-
Preheat the oven to 350 deg F (180 deg C).
-
Put the oats, wheat germ, dried fruit and cinnamon into a bowl and mix thoroughly.
-
In a separate bowl, mix the milk with the beaten egg and vanilla.
-
Mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until thoroughly combined.
-
Grease a small baking tin, pour in the mixture and flatten on top.
-
Bake for 40 to 50 mins until firm.
-
Cut into bars (or whatever shape you like) whilst still warm – and they’re particularly tasty served warm, too.
