How to make Oats Porridge?
Rolled and steel-cut oats are preferred for the little ones. Steel-cut oats take a longer time to cook(around 30 mins), so if you are using them soak for half an hour to reduce the cooking time.
Rolled oats can be powdered and then used for preparing porridge. Powdered rolled oats are better for younger babies.
