Challenge 18: Breakfast - Cinnamon porridge with bananas and strawberries
I don't really cook much at breakfast time. It's usually toast or cereal with the occasional boiled eggs or scrambled eggs at the weekend. But I thought I would try something a little different for this challenge, but still keeping it fairly simple as I'm still not in my own kitchen.
This BBC Good Food recipe was my inspiration, but I made a few changes - namely leaving out the sugar and adjusting the quantities. Generally, I do just prefer porridge on its own (made with milk), but this was a nice alternative, although I feel that strawberries are not yet at their best and this would be nicer in summer. I felt it gave me a good bit of energy before heading out for an archery practice session, though.
Serves 2
Ingredients
80g-ish rolled porridge oats
1/2 tsp of cinnamon
milk (amount according to packet instructions on the porridge - or you could do what I did and just guess...)
2 bananas, sliced
200g-ish strawberries, halved
Method
Add the oats, cinnamon, milk and one sliced banana to a pan and cook according to the porridge oat pack instructions. Once it's ready, serve between two bowls and add the rest of the banana and the strawberries. Sprinkle with a little more cinnamon if desired.
