Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Stir in 2 teaspoons of brown sugar and ensure it dissolves evenly into the porridge.
- Add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and stir thoroughly.
- 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.
- Once the porridge is creamy and the bananas are incorporated, remove the saucepan from heat.
- Ladle the porridge into bowls.
- 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.
