Be transported to the Middle East with these flavours. The tahini is creamy, whilst also bringing a very slight bitterness. Combined with the dates you get a gorgeously deep flavour which pairs perfectly with banana and a kiss of cinnamon.

Method:
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.
Top with tahini, honey, dates, banana and a sprinkle of cinnamon
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.
Tahini: If you don't have tahini you can use any nut butter.
Honey: This can be replaced with any sweetener of your choice
