Crispy Roasted Plums & Oats Crumble

Baby & children's food brand, Organix have shared their crumble recipe to delight you and your little ones.

"Can be enjoyed warm or cold. For younger babies, blend the plum into a smooth puree or mash to suit and serve just with the mascarpone cream.  For toddlers you can roughly chop the plum into bigger pieces and serve with the crumble topping and mascarpone cream. Be safe!  Avoid the crumble for little ones under 7 months."
