Let's walk through the steps to prepare this delicious breakfast.

Ingredients:

3 cups milk (1% fat)
720g
1 cup oats
90g
1 dash salt
1g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g
2 bananas
240g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Measure out 3 cups of milk and pour it into a medium-sized saucepan.
- Measure 1 cup of oats and have them ready.
- Slice the 2 bananas into thin, even pieces.
2. Heat the Milk:
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and heat the milk until it's warm but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
3. Cook the Oats:
- Once the milk is warm, add the cup of oats to the saucepan.
- Sprinkle in a dash of salt to enhance the flavor.
- Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent lumps, until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency, usually about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Sweetness and Spice:
- Stir in 2 teaspoons of brown sugar and ensure it dissolves evenly into the porridge.
- Add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and stir thoroughly.
5. Incorporate the Bananas:
- Gently fold in the sliced bananas, allowing them to heat through and soften slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
- You may reserve a few slices for garnish if you wish.
6. Serve Your Porridge:
- Once the porridge is creamy and the bananas are incorporated, remove the saucepan from heat.
- Ladle the porridge into bowls.
7. Garnish and Enjoy:
- Optionally, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon or add a few reserved banana slices on top of each bowl as garnish.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious banana and cinnamon porridge!

Tips:

- Ensure the milk is heated but not boiling to prevent it from curdling.

- Stir the porridge continuously to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pot.

- For a thicker consistency, let the porridge simmer a bit longer, or for a thinner consistency, add a bit more milk.

- Top with additional slices of banana, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor and visual appeal.

- If you prefer a vegan option, substitute the milk with almond milk, soy milk, or any other plant-based milk.

There you have it — a delightful bowl of banana and cinnamon porridge that's quick to make and packed with flavors. Whether you're preparing breakfast for the family or a solo meal to start your day, this recipe is sure to be a hit. Enjoy the warm, comforting taste and the health benefits that come with each spoonful!
