Ingredients
Method

50g pudding rice
cinnamon
350ml whole milk
½ banana (optional), mashed

Add the rice, pinch of cinnamon and milk to a saucepan
Cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes
Blend to the consistency that you want
If using, add mashed banana (only add the banana to the portion about to be eaten, not to the entire quantity as it will make the puree turn brown)

Tips

This recipe has no added sugar, as all the sweetness comes from the banana. It's also great for baking a big batch and freezing into small portions, before you add the fruit.

Variations

Make a vegan version by swapping the cow's milk for oat or almond milk.

Try combining with a fruity puree to introduce your baby to new flavours.

Try adding slices of soft fruits like banana or strawberry. As your baby grows and starts to explore new textures, add in other fruits, like raisins, blueberries and sliced apple. Just make sure that any round fruits are cut in half before serving to your baby, to reduce the risk of choking.

My daughter loved this, and it was so easy to make! I made a big batch and froze it in ice cube trays. I pop a cube out and add different mashed fruits each day for breakfast. Great recipe

My son loves this. I add a small tin of peaches (in juice, not syrup, drained). I add for the last 15-20 minutes, then blend. I freeze it in little tubs & defrost as required. I'd happily eat it myself.

This recipe includes peaches in the method but doesn't say how many peaches and if tinned or fresh. Does anyone know?

You can use whole milk in cooking from 6 months Winifred.

Would you not use formula milk or breast milk for weaning? Not whole cows milk.

If you add a few drops of fresh lemon with the mashed banana that should stop the banana from turning brown x

I've made rice pudding and semolina pudding using formula and it works perfectly.

Hello I was just wondering if I could make this recipe using my babies formula as he has a milk allergy and he is only 5 months old. Many thanks
