Tips
Annabel Karmel's delicious porridge is packed with nutritious oats and almond milk to get your little one's day off to a great start. Top with fresh berries, and make cute owl faces with apple and banana slices to add to the fun. Makes 3 child's portions
If serving to babies or young children, cut any large berries in half before serving. Round foods can be a choking hazard for small children.

★★★★★ Rated 5 out of 5 stars.Love this! I only bought almond milk because it lasts longer than real milk, but it actually gives the porridge a really lovely flavour.
