Green Banana Porridge
Green banana porridge is a low fuss, high fibre breakfast.
Many of the traditional recipes for green banana porridge blitz the raw green bananas and other ingredients and then bring the mixture to the boil. My preference is to steam the bananas first, blitz all the other ingredients and return the mixture to heat. I feel it makes the porridge a bit smoother but does it really make a difference? đ€·đŸââïž It DOES make peeling the banana a lot easier! In this recipe I used:
3-4 green bananas
1 ripe banana
Coconut milk (optional)
Water
Raisins
Cinnamon
There is no added sugar (or condensed milk), as the raisins and ripe banana provide more than enough sweetness. Add the water and coconut milk to your preferred consistency.
I put half of the mixture in the fridge for the next day đ
