Wednesday, 14 January 2015


What I love about this recipe is it's customisable. It can be as healthy or as unhealthy as you want. Plus, it's delicious and the perfect for a cold winter morning when all you want to do is stay in bed.

Ingredients

  • 70g porridge oats
  • 150ml of almond milk/soy milk
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 tbsp cacao powder
  1. In a pan, heat the almond milk on a medium heat
  2. Once the milk is boiling, add the porridge oats and simmer on the lowest heat.
  3. Break apart the banana and mash into the pan.
  4. Add in the cacao powder.
  5. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 - 8 minutes or until it is thick and you have the desired consistency.
  6. Pour the mixture into a bowl and add any toppings you want.
