Ingredients
- 150 gr fresh strawberries
- 100 gr rolled oats (baby-friendly, unsalted)
- 1 piece ripe banana
- 3 tablespoon whole wheat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon butter (for greasing the baking tray)

3) Combine the mashed banana, crushed strawberries, rolled oats, whole wheat flour, and cinnamon in a large bowl and mix well. The mixture should be firm enough not to stick to your hands — add an extra spoonful of flour if needed.
