Easy Porridge bread and snacks

Sarah1916

Hi all, I am due a baby in August and hoping to breastfeed. Everyone has told me that porridge oats really help with breastfeeding (supply).
I was thinking on top of having porridge for breakfast it might be good to have some porridge bread and snacks (oat cookies or similar) to snack on during the day. I am not very good in the kitchen and like to eat as healthy as possible so I am just wondering if anyone has some simple healthy recipes using oats please. Thanks In advance for any ideas

Take out 25/30g of porridge and add in 25/30g of Chai seeds or flax seeds etc

Wow thanks Tipperary - that recipe looks very simple. Have you tried freezing this?

The biscuits sound like flapjack

I've made these before and they're nice and pretty healthy - the basic recipe is only oats and bananas, the rest is up to you:

That porridge bread linked above is nice, but it's really calorific - add a bit of jam or mashed banana and you're talking at least 500 calories for two slices of bread. Wrong thread, I know

They sound delicious thanks - And not too high in calories which is good. And no harm pointing out the high calories in the porridge bread, I have managed to not overeat during my pregnancy and not gained too much weight (just seem to be gaining as much as recommended) so I really don't want to go and gain extra weight after the baby arrives.

Ya Sarah, I freeze them all the time, I slice it up and but 2 slices wrapped in cling flim into the freezer, handy out also use fat free yougart( dunnes or tesco 55cent tubs are fine)
