Filled with apples and dates, this Quick Breakfast Oatmeal is a healthy and nutritious breakfast to start your and your little one’s day.

Hey there everyone. Breakfast can get tricky at times, especially if you are making it for babies and us. I am always on the lookout for something which can get ready while my coffee is getting brewed in the morning.

To make things simple, I came up with this Quick Breakfast Oatmeal recipe.

In this recipe, I have used Instant Oatmeal since I wanted it to be cooked a fraction of the time.

I have added apples and dates to this oatmeal. Both apple and dates add natural sweetness and give out a delicious aroma.

Further, I have flavored this oatmeal with cinnamon powder, and for the grown-up version, I added some vanilla extract to add a little boost of flavor.

My Little Notes:

Quick Breakfast Oatmeal is great for babies 7 months and above.

Oats are filled with soluble fiber, protein, and the B vitamins thiamin, riboflavin, and B6. They are also a great source of iron, calcium, magnesium, selenium, and phosphorus.

Due to its high fiber content, it is great to reduce constipation.

I would not store this recipe for long. I recommend consuming Quick Breakfast Oatmeal as soon as possible.

While serving it to babies, make sure that the temperature of the porridge is not too hot inside. Stir it for some time, and then feed it to your little ones.
