How to Make Cornmeal Banana Porridge
- Bring 4 cups of salted water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup fine cornmeal and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour until well combined.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk into the cornmeal mixture, creating a smooth paste.
- Slowly pour the cornmeal paste into the boiling salted water, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Stir in 2 ripe mashed bananas, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Cover and simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the porridge has reached your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and sweeten to taste with honey or maple syrup (about 2-4 tablespoons, depending on preference).
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Jamaican-style breakfast!
