Coconut and Caramelised Banana Porridge

The caramel-banana flavour, combines so well with the slight hint of coconut you get from the porridge here. A joy to eat. If you’re feeling glum, this is the one for you.

Ingredients

Serves 1

Porridge

• 1/2 cup coconut milk

• 1/2 cup oats

• 1/2 cup water

• 1 tsp honey

• pinch of salt

• 1/2 banana, sliced

(Notes on substitutions found below the method)

Method:

1. To make the caramelised banana, melt the butter in a small frying pan on a medium heat. Add the banana slices, followed by the honey and fry until golden

2. Mix together the 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.

3. Top with coconut milk, granola and the caramelised bananas.

Notes and substitutions:

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

• Coconut milk: I use coconut milk from a can. You can also use coconut cream: dissolve 25g coconut cream in 100 ml boiling water.

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