We all know how picky toddlers can be, and how cranky they can get when they are hungry or sleepy! The secret is having a good, filling breakfast, so that your toddler has enough energy to jump around till lunch time. This is especially true if your toddler is averse to the idea of snacking! Today we have one such filling breakfast recipe, that's also very easy to make - Honey Oats Multigrain Porridge. This is a one pot dish, made using using Little Moppet Foods' Multigrain Health Drink Powder, loaded with nutritious ingredients like Ragi, Jowar, Bajra, Sesame seeds, Nuts and many more. This recipe is best for children above 1 year of age, since honey shouldn't be given to infants before their first birthday.

Method:
1. Heat the milk in a pan and once it begins to boil, add the multigrain powder and whisk well as it cooks. The mixture will thicken in 2 mins.

On cold rainy mornings, this porridge makes a yummy and healthy breakfast option for toddlers, especially if they're going to day care and won't eat anything till lunch. The oats and multigrain make it filling, while the honey makes sure they enjoy their meal!
