Chocolate and Caramelised Banana Porridge

You can't go wrong with chocolate and banana. Whether it's melting chocolate chips in banana bread, Nutella and banana stuffed into pancakes or that sad moment when you drop your piece of sliced banana in the chocolate fountain. It's delicious.

The caramelised banana and crunchy nuts bring a further air of sophistication, so simultaneously feel like a child with pancakes and a celebrity breakfasting in style.

Ingredients

Serves 1

Porridge

• 1 banana

• 1.5 tsp cocoa powder

• 1/2 cup oats

• 1/2 cup milk

• 1/2 cup water

• 1 tsp honey

• Pinch of salt

Topping

• 1 tsp butter

• 1 tsp honey

• nuts, chopped

(Notes on substitutions found below the method)

Method:

1. Peal the banana, then cut it in half lengthways. Mash one half and combine with the remaining porridge ingredients. On the hob: place the ingredients in a saucepan, bring to boil and simmer for 4-5 minutes stirring regularly to make it rich and creamy. In the microwave: place the ingredients in a microwave proof bowl, then microwave on high for 1 minute, give it a good stir for 30s minutes. Put back in the microwave for 2-3 minutes stirring regularly to make it rich and creamy.

2. For the caramelised banana, melt the butter and honey in a non-stick frying pan and place the banana cut side down in the pan. Cook on a low heat for 5 minutes until caramelised on the bottom.

3. Top your porridge with yoghurt, the caramelised banana, chopped nuts and an extra drizzle of honey.

Notes and substitutions:

• Oats: I use regular porridge oats, but you can use any type. Just adjust the cooking time.

• Milk: Any milk works, including soy and nut milks.

• Honey: You can replace with the same quantity of any sweetener (maple syrup, sugar etc)

• Cocoa powder: you can also use cacao powder.
