For 4 servings

What you’ll need

2 cups certified gluten-free rolled oats
4 cups unsweetened fortified soy milk or almond milk
2 red apples, one grated and one thinly sliced
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup blueberries, raspberries or lingonberries
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
4 tablespoons unsweetened casein-free cultured yoghurt, optional

Allergens and labels
Oats if cross-contaminated, Soy if soy milk/yoghurt is used, Tree nuts if almond milk is used. Use certified gluten-free oats and verify the plant milk/yoghurt is casein-free and gluten-free.

One step at a time

Let’s make it

Place oats, plant milk, grated apple and cinnamon in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring until creamy.
Divide between four bowls and top with sliced apple and berries.
Finish with ground flaxseed and an optional spoon of unsweetened dairy-free cultured yoghurt.

Times are estimates. Use the doneness checks in the method.

Make the texture work

Serve plain porridge first and keep apple, berries and yoghurt in separate small sections so the child controls mixing.

Season it properly

The listed recipe uses gentle family flavours. Keep optional pepper, lemon, herbs or fermented foods separate when that feels more comfortable.

Simple swaps

Keep a familiar food alongside the meal and serve components separately when preferred. Check every substituted packaged ingredient for gluten and casein.

Keep it safely

Cool leftovers promptly, refrigerate, and reheat once until steaming hot throughout. Follow ingredient-pack instructions and local food-safety advice.

Food education

What the ingredients bring

These are practical food-group notes, not a laboratory nutrition analysis. Portions and brands change the numbers.

Oats, apple, berries and flax add several fibre sources and plant polyphenols to the meal.
