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)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, milk, water, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to mix.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

While the oats are cooking, peel the ripe banana and mash it with a fork until smooth.

Step 4

Once the porridge starts to thicken (around 5 minutes of cooking), stir in the mashed banana and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly.

Step 5

Allow the porridge to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 6

Taste the porridge and add honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter flavor. Stir well to incorporate.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the porridge sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly before serving.

Step 8

Divide the porridge between two bowls. Top with chopped nuts, seeds, and fresh banana slices if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your creamy Banana Porridge!
