A tasty, healthy porridge for children over one year old. Oatmeal contains many carbohydrates, nutrients and vitamins necessary for a child's body. It is introduced into complementary foods after seven months, but since our porridge will be made with milk and with the addition of banana, it is advisable to introduce it closer to one year.

Step-by-step photo recipe on how to prepare oatmeal with milk and banana for a child:
We take oat flakes; thin ones do not need to be sorted and peeled, but can be cooked immediately.
Pour water into the bottom of the pan and bring to a boil. Then pour in the milk and bring it to a boil. Since our porridge is for children, it does not need to be cooked very thick, so it will be tastier and easier to swallow. Add a little salt and you can pour out the flakes.
As soon as the milk and cereal boils, reduce the heat and cook for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat, add oil and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Grate the banana on a fine grater.
Pour it into a plate, where we then add our porridge. It is not recommended to give sugar to children under 2 years of age, but a banana adds sweetness and satiety and fills our porridge with vitamins. In addition, banana practically does not cause allergies.
Oatmeal is undoubtedly the healthiest start to the day for everyone, young and old. But what to do if its taste does not seem interesting enough to you and does not cause pleasure. Try adding a banana cut into pieces or other ingredients that you love to the porridge, and its taste will sparkle with new, not only pleasant and rich, but also healthy notes.

Bon appetit! Eat with pleasure!
Hello, friends! In the morning I have a very pleasant ritual that I never change.
This is morning breakfast. I always eat a bowl of oatmeal in the morning. Sometimes I alternate with rice porridge, which I learned to cook from sticky rice.
But I really love oatmeal made with traditional rolled oats. And I try to add various fruits and berries to my oatmeal. It could be simple raisins, apples with cinnamon, mango or a spoonful of jam.
But oatmeal with banana is especially good. The banana, once in the hot porridge, begins to melt and gives it an additional creamy-sweet taste. Therefore, why change what brings me pleasure in the morning? It might be boring as hell for some people to eat porridge for breakfast, but for me it's damn delicious. And I never get tired of this healthy breakfast!
Oatmeal, sir!
Oatmeal is rich in fiber, fats and protein compounds, and is an easily digestible product. In the morning, this is a wonderful hearty breakfast, and you won’t gain extra pounds from it. Porridge helps normalize intestinal motor function - and this is the most important thing in the morning meal. I won’t even write about the vitamins and minerals in oatmeal; it’s really very useful.
I buy regular rolled oat flakes, which take a long time to cook. I think that instant porridges lose a lot of vitamins and nutrition during processing. Well that's my opinion.
Yes, can anyone answer me? Why are oat flakes called rolled oats?
I don't know what English oatmeal tastes like? And I seriously doubt whether they eat oatmeal at all. But after visiting a local cafe in Hua Hin where they serve English breakfasts, I realized that the British eat something completely different from what I thought.
The cafe is clean and tidy. Strong wooden tables and chairs, a waving English flag at the entrance. And the establishment's regulars.
Having ordered a portion of the English breakfast each, we began to wait for the food. It was still early morning and I was hungry. 🙂 When they brought us huge portions of food, I completely lost faith that the British eat oatmeal for breakfast. 😯 Moreover, we chose "medium portion".
On this day I tried English breakfast for the first time:
- 2 fried eggs
- 2 toasts, fried in oil
- beans in tomato sauce
- potatoes fried in oil
- mushrooms
- a thin meat sausage, like a frankfurter, but quite tasty.
- fried bacon - 2 large pieces. Oh my stomach!
- lightly roasted tomato
And they gave us to him:
- large pot of freshly brewed tea
- milk
- jam for toast
- sugar
I’m writing this myself in shock, how were we able to eat such huge portions? 😯 Then I realized how Winnie the Pooh felt, stuck in the doorway of the Rabbit’s house. It suited me better as lunch and dinner, if you divide the portion into 2 times. Everything was delicious, but it was very greasy and difficult for me to eat in the morning.
Then I realized that I had to look for my favorite oatmeal and prepare a delicious and healthy breakfast myself. And as soon as we moved to live in a condo with a kitchen, I immediately bought oatmeal.
Imagine, oatmeal is brought here straight from Australia. 🙂 I like the McGarrett brand. Clean flakes and cooked well.
How to cook oatmeal
I cook oatmeal in a rice cooker, or in our opinion, a multicooker. I add all the ingredients – oatmeal, milk, water and start cooking.
I like my porridge a little thin, so for every 1.5 cups of oatmeal I take 3 cups of water and 3 cups of milk.
I cook the porridge for about 10 minutes. I don’t close the rice cooker yet and sometimes stir the porridge. As soon as the porridge boils, cook for another 5 minutes, close the lid and turn off the rice cooker. Let the porridge simmer for another 10 minutes. In the meantime, you can do some light exercises 😉
I add salt to taste to the prepared portions to suit my taste. And of course my favorite bananas. I use them instead of sugar. Banana in oatmeal gives it some softness and such a delicate creamy taste that adding anything else is unnecessary.
Banana oatmeal recipe
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Ingredients(for 2 servings):
- 1.5 tbsp. oatmeal
- 3 tbsp. water
- 3 tbsp. milk
- 2 ripe bananas
- sea salt and a little sugar
Note: 1 measuring cup = 140 ml.
Cooking diagram:
- Place all ingredients into the slow cooker
- Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally with a spoon to prevent it from burning.
- As soon as it boils, cook for another 5 minutes, then cover with a lid and turn off the multicooker.
- In 10 minutes the oatmeal will steam on its own and arrive
- Cut a ripe banana and add to your portion
- Salt and sugar to taste
While the oatmeal finishes cooking on its own in the slow cooker, I go to the gym and do some exercises. Yes, I want to brag to you. I have already lost 3 kg. Watch the video at the end of the article, where I show my exercises.
Yes, in the video I decided not to repeat myself with a banana and prepared oatmeal with raisins and jackfruit. It turned out amazingly delicious. I didn’t expect this myself. In the hot porridge, the sunny jackfruit slices soften a little and you get something like sweet jam with pieces of fresh fruit.

Try different options and you will never get bored with oatmeal. And the morning will be joyful and delicious :) I hope I have motivated you to eat porridge in the morning. 😉 I wish you a good day and a pleasant breakfast!
PS: when we got tired of oatmeal, we began to diversify our breakfast
I never use instant oatmeal, only whole grain oatmeal, which takes 15-20 minutes to prepare.
For this dish, you need to choose ripe bananas.
Cream is suitable for any fat content. I buy low-fat, 10%.
Rinse the oatmeal and drain the water.
Boil the flakes in water for about 5 minutes, and only then pour in the milk.
Add a pinch of salt.
Melt the butter in a frying pan, add sugar and simmer over low heat until the sugar begins to melt, acquiring a golden hue.
I would like to clarify one unpleasant point in advance. It is quite possible to buy sugar of very low quality in stores, from which caramel simply cannot be made. Sugar doesn't melt, but turns into lumps and that's it. I came across this product a couple of times myself and was unpleasantly surprised. Now I only buy sugar from a trusted manufacturer.
After this, add one banana, cut into pucks, into the pan.
Mash the second banana with a fork. It will go directly into the porridge itself.
By the way, it’s quite possible not to bother with the first banana, but, like this one, mash it and add it to the porridge, and make pure creamy caramel without banana in a frying pan. Everything is optional.
While we were busy with bananas and caramel, the porridge was almost ready. It doesn't turn out too thick, which is exactly what I like. Although over time, when it cools down a little, the porridge, of course, will become denser. If you like thicker porridge, you can reduce the amount of any of the liquids.
