Banana and Cinnamon Porridge
Recipe
Ingredients (serves 1):
- 35g whole rolled oats
- 5g chia seeds
- 200ml almond milk
- Pinch of cinnamon
- ½ tsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp coconut oil
- 1 banana
- 1 nectarine
- Granola, to serve
Method:
- Put the oats, chia seeds and almond milk into a small saucepan over a medium heat.
- In the meantime, cut the banana into thin slices and the nectarine into segments.
- Once the porridge mixture starts to thicken, add in the coconut oil, followed by about 2/3 of the sliced bananas.
- Leave to cook until the bananas start to soften and “melt” into the porridge, whilst stirring continuously. Sprinkle over a little cinnamon.
- Taste, and if necessary, add a little maple syrup to sweeten.
- Once thick, pour the banana porridge into a bowl and add the rest of the sliced bananas and segmented nectarine on top. Sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon and granola, if you like.
