Banana & Raspberry Oat Bake
Soft and chewy, this oat bake is perfect for the entire family, even weaning babies from 6 months (once they have got the hang of eating finger food!). It makes a delicious breakfast, snack or pudding and any leftovers can be frozen.
Oats are full of beta glucans which are important for immunity and are an excellent source of calcium and fibre. The egg and the milk give this recipe some protein as a well as choline which is an important brain food for developing a good memory, muscle control and mood.
