Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 banana
- 45 grams (1/2 cup) porridge oats
- 250 milliliters (1 cup) plant milk of choice
Base Seasonings and Sweeteners:
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (plus extra for topping)
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Toppings:
- Chocolate chips or chunks
- Pecans
- Almond butter
Instructions
- Prepare banana by dividing into two portions: mash one half completely and slice the other half into elegant, thin segments.
- Combine mashed banana, oats, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and milk in a cooking vessel, ensuring thorough integration of ingredients.
- Select cooking method: stovetop or microwave. For stovetop, simmer at medium-low temperature for approximately 5 minutes until achieving a velvety, smooth consistency. For microwave, heat for 2 minutes, pause to stir, then continue cooking for another 1 minute and 30 seconds.
- Simultaneously, activate a separate skillet over medium heat. Introduce maple syrup and an additional sprinkle of cinnamon, creating a fragrant caramel base.
- Gently place sliced banana segments into the maple mixture, allowing them to transform into golden-brown caramelized pieces with rich, glossy edges.
- Transfer the creamy porridge into a serving bowl, creating an inviting canvas for toppings.
- Artfully garnish the porridge with caramelized banana slices, decadent chocolate chunks, crunchy pecans, and a luxurious drizzle of almond butter.
- Consume immediately to experience optimal temperature and textural harmony.
Notes
- Swap out whole milk for plant-based alternatives like almond or oat milk to create a vegan-friendly version of this breakfast.
- Adjust cooking time slightly when using different milk types to maintain the perfect creamy consistency.
- Toast nuts briefly before adding to enhance their nutty flavor and provide extra crunch to the dish.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time for a faster morning routine, storing mashed bananas and measured dry ingredients in containers overnight.
