Equipment

  • 1 saucepan
  • 1 spatula

Ingredients

Dry ingredients

  • 80 gram oats (I'm using steel cut oats)
  • 1 ripe banana (don't use unripe bananas as they won't give natural sweetness)
  • 1-2 tbsp peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • ¼ tsp salt

Wet ingredients

  • 200 ml hot water
  • 80 ml non-dairy milk (I use soy milk to give more protein)
  • 2 tbsp superfood powder (optional)
  • 50 gram raspberries (optional)
  • half mango (optional)
  • handful of your favourite seeds, such as sunflower seeds (optional)

Instructions

  • soak oats in hot water in a small saucepan for at least 3 minutes (if you're using steel-cut oats) to reduce the cooking time. Meanwhile, mash the banana in a bowl.
  • turn the hob on, add mashed banana and milk and give a quick stir.
  • once the porridge starts bubbling, set a medium heat setting on the knob. Keep stirring to avoid the bottom part getting burnt.
  • add superfood power if you have any
  • add a bit of salt
  • add more milk if you'd like your porridge more creamy
  • dish it up when it reaches the consistency you like
  • add peanut butter and other toppings, such as nuts and soft fruits.

Notes

*The best part of the recipe is that you don't need to add sugar or maple syrup, as the banana and fresh fruit provide natural sweetness.
