I have been eating this beautiful grain-free porridge for a few months now, and I love that its a meal I can share with the kids. Safe to have from 6 months of age once introduced to almonds and ghee (allergens). It freezes well or you can keep it in the fridge a few days. This recipe is from our book - Milk to Meals

Method

Peel and quarter apple and place in small saucepan with the pitted date and 1/4 cup water, place on low heat with lid on and steam until apple and date are fork soft (about 7 minutes) - add more water if needed.
Add the ghee and stir through, then add the remainder of ingredients.
Stir to combine, you can do this on or off the heat if you prefer it to be warmer.
