Instructions
Hob Method:
- Prepare the Banana: Cut the banana in half. Mash one half and cut the other half into slices (or keep it as two halves).
- Cook the Porridge: In a small pot, add the mashed banana, oats, cinnamon, a tiny pinch of salt, and milk. Give it a good stir then place it on the hob on low/medium heat. Cook until soft, for about 5 minutes, stirring from time to time.
- Caramelize the Banana: In a heated pan, add maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon, mix well then add the banana halves or slices. Cook until they’re nice and caramelized on both sides.
- Assemble and Serve: Pour the porridge into a bowl and add chocolate chunks, pecans, almond butter, and then the caramelized bananas. Enjoy!
Microwave Method:
- Prepare the Banana: Cut the banana in half. Mash one half and cut the other half into slices (or keep it as two halves).
- Cook the Porridge: Add all ingredients (including the sliced or halved banana) to a microwave-safe bowl. Cook it in the microwave for 2 minutes, stir and cook again for 1 minute 30 seconds.
- Caramelize the Banana: (Optional – you can skip this step if you microwaved the banana). In a heated pan, add maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon, mix well then add the banana halves or slices. Cook until they’re nice and caramelized on both sides.
- Assemble and Serve: Pour the porridge into a bowl and add chocolate chunks, pecans, almond butter, and then the caramelized bananas (if caramelized). Enjoy!
