Easy Banana Porridge
Description
This porridge begins by cooking rolled oats with mashed banana, ground almonds, and milk until thickened, stirring regularly to prevent sticking. The mashed banana adds natural sweetness and moisture while ground almonds contribute texture and nutrition. Once cooked, the porridge is divided into bowls and drizzled with honey, then topped with sliced banana for fresh fruit contrast.
The creamy texture of the oats, combined with the fruit and nut flavors, offers a balanced and satisfying breakfast. Using ripe bananas ensures natural sweetness reduces the need for added sugar.
The porridge can be customized by substituting ground almonds with chia or flax seeds and milk can be replaced with any preferred type or water. Adjust cooking times if using different oat varieties.
Note that certified gluten-free oats should be used to ensure the dish is safe for gluten-sensitive individuals.
