AGE APPROPRIATE: when on 2 meals a day
These are the ‘happy belly porridge fingers’ from my book Milk to Meals – this recipe came about from my stubborn middle child refusing to eat any purée or be spoon fed – so I turned her leftover porridge into these porridge fingers using grass-fed gelatin, so it was a win-win in my eyes – she could be independent with her meal, have the added health benefits of the gelatin and there was no food waste!!
I like to use the nutrient-dense porridge recipe for this (also from Milk to Meals) as it includes added protein like egg and collagen.
Of course you don’t have to use ‘leftover’ porridge to make these – it can be made fresh – or you can ultimately use any purée food.

These don't defrost well as they go soggy, so I don't recommend freezing.
