Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

2 ripe bananas (one for porridge, one for caramelizing)

2 tablespoons brown sugar (or coconut sugar)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Pinch of salt

1 tablespoon coconut oil (or butter)

Chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds) for topping

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Oats: In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir frequently and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are creamy and have absorbed most of the liquid.

    Prepare the Bananas: While the porridge cooks, slice one banana into rounds and set aside for caramelizing. The other banana will be mashed into the porridge later.

      Caramelize the Banana: In a skillet over medium heat, add the coconut oil (or butter). Once melted, add the sliced banana rounds and sprinkle the brown sugar on top. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bananas are golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

        Mash the Banana: Once the porridge is cooked, remove it from the heat. Take the second banana, peel it, and mash it with a fork. Stir the mashed banana into the porridge until well combined.

          Serve: Spoon the warm caramelized banana porridge into bowls. Top with the caramelized banana slices, a sprinkle of chopped nuts for crunch, and an extra dusting of cinnamon if desired. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added touch.

            Enjoy! Dig into this warm, comforting bowl of caramelized banana porridge, perfect for breakfast or a cozy snack.
