Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 cups Milk (or plant-based alternative)
- 1 cup Water
- 1 large Ripe banana
- 1 pinch Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts or seeds (for topping, optional)
- 0.5 banana Fresh banana slices (for topping, optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, milk, water, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to mix.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom.
While the oats are cooking, peel the ripe banana and mash it with a fork until smooth.
Once the porridge starts to thicken (around 5 minutes of cooking), stir in the mashed banana and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly.
Allow the porridge to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it reaches your desired consistency.
Taste the porridge and add honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter flavor. Stir well to incorporate.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the porridge sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly before serving.
Divide the porridge between two bowls. Top with chopped nuts, seeds, and fresh banana slices if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy Banana Porridge!
