Ingredients

1 cup oats
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 ripe bananas
2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

Step 1: In a saucepan, combine the oats, milk, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and creamy, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 2: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the bananas in half lengthwise and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with honey and bake for 10-12 minutes until they are soft and caramelized.
Step 3: Serve the warm cinnamon porridge topped with the baked bananas. Drizzle with extra honey if desired.

Tips & Variations

Use plant-based milk like almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
Add chopped nuts or seeds on top for extra texture and nutrition.
For a richer flavor, toast the oats lightly in a dry pan before cooking.
Mix a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract into the porridge for added warmth.

Storage

Store any leftover porridge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk to loosen the texture. Baked bananas are best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated separately and warmed slightly before serving.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use frozen bananas for this recipe?

Yes, frozen bananas can be baked, but they may release more moisture, making them softer. Adjust baking time accordingly and drain excess liquid if needed.

Is there a vegan alternative for honey?

Absolutely! Maple syrup or agave nectar are great vegan substitutes that complement the flavors beautifully.
