How to Make Banana Porridge

  1. Peel and thinly slice the banana.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, soya milk, water, and sugar.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Add the sliced banana to the boiling mixture.
  5. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the oats are cooked through and the porridge has reached your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
  6. Divide the porridge between two bowls.
  7. Drizzle each bowl with a little extra soya milk (optional).
  8. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds over the top for added crunch and nutrition.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
