Porridge

[Lore]

Hi, My 22 month old daughter loves to have porridge for her breakfast. Other than a mashed up banana mixed into it, has anyone got any ideas how I can sweeten it up for her without using sugar?

Thanks :)

Raisins, added to the porridge as it is cooking.

Nice juicy sultanas, maybe cut up into little bits so there is no choking risk.

dried fruit then!!!!

Puree/stew some fresh fruit and stir it into the porridge as it's heating.

Honey is an healthy & a sweet option.

Honey, prune juice, pureed apples or skinned grapes might work. Or possibly not sweetening it at all unless she already has a sweet tooth?

frozen fruit - just put in to porridge when you are cooking it and the heat melts frozen - i usually make my porridge in the microwave. - suits me -

apricot
prunes

Thank you to all for your replies, I started off by putting a touch of sugar in her porridge and lately I've realised how much sugar she's getting from that alone, so I wanted to put a stop to it before it's too late and I end up with a gummy baby!
