Three Bears Porridge Food

I developed this recipe so I'd have a super-nutritious, go-to porridge for my baby and toddler (and the adults too!). This thick and hearty porridge is naturally sweetened with mashed banana and finely shredded carrot, and it's packed with superfoods like chia seeds and hemp hearts. I love to stir in some finely grated zucchini, as well, upping the veggie goodness even more. If I'm thinking ahead, I'll mix the oatmeal together before bed so it can soften and thicken in the fridge overnight. Soaking cuts down the cook time drastically-all you have to do in the morning is throw it into a pot and heat it until creamy. Of course, you can prepare it from scratch in the morning, too. And my kids also enjoy this porridge chilled, so that's a good option if it's summer or if you just don't have time to heat it up. If serving this to a baby who's still on purées, you can throw this oatmeal into a blender or food processor (adding a splash of water or milk, if necessary) and process it for a smoother texture.

As this is baking it would be a good time to read a book to your kids. I bet you know what one I'm thinking of by the title of this recipe.
