Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 bananas, peeled
  • 100g porridge oats
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon, plus a pinch to serve
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 300ml milk of your choice, plus a splash
  • 2 tbsp peanut or almond butter, plus extra to serve
  • 2 tbsp flaked or chopped almonds
  • 2–4 tbsp natural yogurt, to serve (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mash the banana: Mash 1 banana in a bowl with a fork until smooth, creating a creamy base for the oats.
  2. Mix ingredients: Stir in the porridge oats, ground cinnamon, maple syrup, milk, and peanut or almond butter into the mashed banana. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Chill overnight: Cover the mixture and refrigerate overnight to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
  4. Prepare to serve: The next morning, stir the porridge and add a splash of milk if the mixture feels too thick or stiff.
  5. Assemble the bowls: Divide the oatmeal between two bowls. Slice the remaining banana and scatter slices on top of the oats.
  6. Add toppings: Drizzle with more nut butter, sprinkle chopped or flaked almonds, and optionally add spoonfuls of natural yogurt.
  7. Final touch: Finish with a pinch of ground cinnamon before serving to enhance the flavor and aroma.

Notes

  • You can use any type of milk (dairy or plant-based) to suit dietary preferences.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup used or omitting it altogether.
  • Natural yogurt is optional and can be substituted with a dairy-free alternative.
  • For a crunchier texture, toast the almonds lightly before adding.
  • This recipe can be made gluten-free by using certified gluten-free oats.
