Cinnamon porridge

Cinnamon porridge is a delightful and warming breakfast option that's perfect for starting your day on a cozy note. Combining the hearty flavor of oats, the sweetness of brown sugar, and the creamy richness of heavy whipping cream, this recipe is elevated further with the natural sweetness of bananas.

Ingredients:

2 cups oats
180g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g
2 bananas
240g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Slice the bananas into thin rounds and set them aside.
- Measure out the oats, brown sugar, and heavy whipping cream.
2. Cook the Oats:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the 2 cups of oats and 2 cups of water.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
3. Add Flavorings:
- Once the mixture starts to thicken (after about 5 minutes), stir in the heavy whipping cream.
- Add the brown sugar and mix well until it dissolves completely. If you are using cinnamon, this is a good time to add 1 teaspoon.
4. Cook Until Thickened:
- Continue cooking and stirring the porridge for another 3-5 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency. The porridge should be creamy and thick.
5. Add Bananas:
- Once the porridge is ready, remove the saucepan from heat.
- Stir in the sliced bananas carefully, reserving a few slices for garnish if desired.
6. Serve:
- Spoon the cinnamon porridge into serving bowls.
- Top each bowl with the reserved banana slices.
- Optionally, you can drizzle a little bit of cream or sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for extra flavor.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve the porridge warm and enjoy a comforting, delicious breakfast!

Tips:

- Use rolled oats for a creamier texture, or steel-cut oats for a nuttier, chewier consistency.

- Mash one banana into the porridge while cooking for a smoother and more integrated banana flavor.

- Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness and enhance the overall flavor of the porridge.

- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy whipping cream with coconut milk or almond milk.

- Top the porridge with freshly sliced bananas, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a drizzle of honey for added flair and sweetness.

- Experiment with toppings like nuts, seeds, or dried fruit to add variety and extra nutrition to your porridge.

Cinnamon porridge is an easy and delicious way to enjoy a nutritious breakfast. By following these simple steps and incorporating a few helpful tips, you can create a warming and satisfying meal that's both comforting and wholesome. Enjoy this hearty dish on a chilly morning or anytime you crave a touch of coziness.
