Banana and coconut porridge

Banana and coconut porridge is a delightful and nourishing breakfast option that combines the tropical flavors of coconut and banana with the hearty, comforting texture of oats. This recipe is quick to make and perfect for starting your day on a healthy and satisfying note.

Ingredients:

1 cup oats
90g
1/2 cup coconut milk
120g
3 bananas
360g
1 tsp salt
5g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Peel the bananas and slice them into rounds.
- Measure out the oats, coconut milk, and salt.
2. Cook the Oats:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the 1 cup of oats with 1 1/2 cups of water.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook the oats for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and the mixture starts to thicken.
3. Add Coconut Milk and Bananas:
- Once the oats have started to thicken, add the 1/2 cup of coconut milk to the saucepan.
- Stir in the sliced bananas, reserving a few slices for topping if desired.
- Add 1 tsp of salt and stir well to combine.
4. Continue Cooking:
- Allow the porridge to cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats are fully cooked and the bananas have softened and melded into the mixture. The porridge should be creamy and slightly thickened.
5. Adjust Consistency:
- If the porridge is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more water or coconut milk until the desired consistency is reached. Stir well to combine.
6. Serve:
- Once the porridge has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the heat.
- Spoon the banana and coconut porridge into bowls.
- Top with the reserved banana slices and an extra drizzle of coconut milk if desired.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve the porridge warm, savoring the delightful combination of creamy coconut and sweet bananas.

Tips:

- 1: For extra creaminess, you can replace part of the water used to cook the oats with additional coconut milk.

- 2: Add a touch of natural sweetness by stirring in a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup just before serving.

- 3: Enhance the flavor and texture by topping your porridge with toasted coconut flakes or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

- 4: To save time in the morning, you can prepare the dry oat mixture the night before and simply add the wet ingredients when you’re ready to cook.

- 5: Don't forget to adjust the consistency of your porridge to your liking by adding more or less coconut milk.

In just a matter of minutes, you've prepared a warm, delicious bowl of banana and coconut porridge. This meal not only tastes fantastic but also provides essential nutrients to keep you energized throughout the day. Enjoy this wholesome breakfast with your favorite toppings or as is for a simple yet delightful morning treat.
