Banana nut porridge

If you're looking for a nutrient-dense, delicious, and easy-to-prepare breakfast, this Banana Nut Porridge is perfect for you! Combining the rich flavors of coconut milk, bananas, and a trio of nuts, this porridge is both satisfying and healthful. Best of all, it can be prepared the night before, saving you precious time in the morning.

Instructions:

1. Prep the Nuts:
- Measure out 5 oz each of cashews, almonds, and pecans.
- Place the nuts in a food processor and pulse until they are coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process; you want pieces, not a fine meal.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the coarsely chopped nuts.
- Add a dash of salt and 2 tsp of cinnamon. Stir all the dry ingredients until well mixed.
3. Prep the Banana:
- Peel and mash the banana using a fork or potato masher until it reaches a smooth consistency.
4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Add the mashed banana to the nut mixture in the bowl. Stir to combine.
- Pour in 2 cups of coconut milk and stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined.
5. Refrigerate Overnight:
- Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container.
- Place the bowl or container in the refrigerator and let it sit overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the nuts to soften.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
- The next morning, give the porridge a good stir.
- Serve chilled or warm it up briefly if you prefer a warm porridge.
- Optionally, top with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon before serving.

Tips:

- For a smoother texture, soak the nuts in water for a few hours or overnight before blending.

- Feel free to add a sweetener of your choice, such as honey or maple syrup, if you prefer a sweeter porridge.

- Top the porridge with fresh fruits, seeds, or a drizzle of nut butter for added flavor and texture.

- Store the porridge in individual serving jars for a quick grab-and-go breakfast.

- If you like a thicker consistency, reduce the amount of coconut milk slightly or add some chia seeds.

This Banana Nut Porridge is a highly nutritious and flavorful way to start your day. Preparing it the night before not only makes your morning easier but also allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Whether you're in need of a hearty breakfast or a midday energy boost, this creamy porridge will surely become a new favorite in your recipe repertoire.
