Notes
- Make sure you use a really ripe banana (one with spots on the peel) as it will give the porridge lots of natural sweetness.
- We added almonds to thicken it and give it a nutrition boost, but you could swap it for chia or flax seeds.
- You can use any milk to make this porridge, or even swap it for water.
- The cooking time for this recipe is for using rolled oats. If you use steel cut oats, then the cooking time will vary.
- To ensure this recipe is definitely gluten free, use oats that are certified gluten free.
