Banana & Apple Porridge

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Gala appleBanana

1 mug whole rolled porridge oats
2 mugs milk (whichever type you like)
1 apple
1 banana

Heat oats and milk in saucepan (actually we use a small non stick frying pan for this) and let bubble, stirring occasionally for about 5 mins.  The result should be thick and creamy, with texture.  If it is too dry add more milk, if too runny, just let it cook a little longer.

Meanwhile, wash, then grate the apple, skin and all, right down to the core.  Finely slice or mash the banana.  Mix the fruit into the hot cooked porridge.

This will make around 4 small bowls (for us it does 2 adults, 2 toddlers).  Mixing in the cold fruit brings it to the perfect temperature for small people (and Ukranians) to eat immediately.

This is lovely and tangy and sweet.  No sugar needed.  Perfect for a grey January morning when you feel you ought to be eating healthily, but fancy sweet stodge.  It can easily be made in the microwave at work too.
