Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 cups Milk (or plant-based alternative)
- 1 Ripe banana
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate chips or grated dark chocolate
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts or seeds (optional for topping)
- 0.5 Banana slices (optional for topping)
Instructions
Peel the ripe banana and mash it thoroughly with a fork in a small bowl until smooth.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, mashed banana, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Continue to cook the porridge for 7–10 minutes, stirring frequently until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Once the porridge has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and maple syrup (if using) for added sweetness.
Divide the porridge between two bowls and top with dark chocolate chips or grated dark chocolate, allowing it to melt slightly for a luxurious finish.
Optional: Garnish with chopped nuts or seeds for added crunch and extra banana slices for freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, comforting bowl of Delectable Banana Chocolate Porridge!
