Caramelised Banana Porridge

Method

1. In a small saucepan mix your oats with the plant milk. Add the cinnamon + pinch of sea salt. Let it cook on medium heat until it thickens and the oats have soften (should be about 5 min with rolled oats)
2. Cut your banana in half and then side ways, so you have banana ‘slices’.
3. In a non-stick pan add your sugar, with the water on medium heat. Mix a little, and wait for it to caramelise. Watch it once it starts as it goes fast! Lower the heat if needed.
4. Once the caramelisation has started add your bananas in. Add a few drops of vanilla extract, and a knob of vegan butter. Cook for a couple of minutes on each side making sure that the caramel doesn’t burn too much.
5. They’re ready when the bananas have soften a bit and look golden brown!
6. While you’re making your bananas, keep an eye on the oats!
7. When everything is ready, pour your oats in your prettiest bowl. Place the caramelised bananas on one side. Drizzle as much peanut butter as you fancy. A sprinkle of hemp hearts, and some other nuts are optional but add a nice crunch! I topped it all off with a tiny sprinkle of cinnamon, because at this time of the year you can’t have too much cinnamon.

Thanks for the lovely recipe Tania!
