The egg provides protein to keep you full longer and the important nutrient, choline. The ripe bananas provide a natural sweetener with the added benefits of potassium. This recipe can be adapted for your baby. At 6 months, baby can have mashed banana or oats thinned out with breast milk, formula, or water.
