Now I've never been a fan of porridge. The mushy texture and bland taste had never quite cut it as the first meal of the day for me. BUT. We've recently been trying out new recipes and flavour combo's, and I can safely say, I am in love. It is truly a satisfying, tasty dish that will keep you full for longer!
Serves: 1
Ingredients
Core ingredients
1 ripe banana (the riper the better!)
3/4 cup rolled oats (quick oats works too but rolled oats has more of a bite and has less of a mushy texture)
1/2 cup almond milk (feel free to add more if you prefer a runnier texture)
4 pitted date finely chopped
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of salt
Additional Ingredients We've Used
1 heaped tsp cocoa powder
1 tsp flax seeds (porridge is a great way to incorporate your superfoods, such as these incredible omega 3 rich seeds)
Figs, cherries, shredded coconut for topping
Make it your own (suggestions)
Nut butter
Protein Powder
Hemp powder
Coconut Yogurt
Nuts
Berries
Maple Syrup
Roasted Buckwheat
Method
In a small saucepan, mash the banana with a fork until smooth
Now add the oats, milk, dates, vanilla and salt (and any other ingredients you'd like to add), and mix well. Place on a medium heat and cook for 5-10 minuted or until the porridge is of your preferred consistency
All you have to do from here is load on your favourite toppings! We love using defrosted frozen berries as they become quite syrupy and juicy
(We also love making extra servings to store in the fridge. The banana makes the oats DELISH when eaten cold.)
