Banana and honey porridge

Serves:

Ingredients

• 1 cup instant oats
• 2 cups of water
• 1 small banana, mashed
• 2 tbsp honey

Method

In a saucepan, place the instant oats and the water.

Bring to the boil and simmer for 2 mins.

While the porridge is simmering, mash the banana and stir through at the end before serving.

Lie some banana slices on top and drizzle the honey over.

Notes

• You can add some skim milk to this porridge if you are in a hurry.
• Sometimes I like to swap the banana and honey with half teaspoon of cinnamon and small tin of baby pureed apples.
• It should take you less than 5 minutes to get this breakfast ready and it will set you up for the whole day.
• I ignore my children’s pleas for sugary cereals during winter and just make a huge pot of porridge. They soon stop asking.
