Creamy Banana Breakfast Porridge with Strawberries, Raisins & Pumpkin Seeds
This is one of my partners favourite breakfasts and it never gets old. I reckon he has been having this every single morning over the last 6 months. Its so simple, a great cheap option for breakfast and is packed with long lasting energy. To speed the cooking process up if you are in a rush in the mornings, have your porridge pre soaking over night in the pot with your usual amount of water. Then the next morning when you are ready to cook the oats they will have already absorbed most of that water and will be lovely, plump and creamy. Pimp this porridge up with what ever nuts, seeds or fruit you have in the house, but it is crucial that you do not leave out the banana in the porridge.
