What goes in
- Rolled oats50 g
- Semi-skimmed milk250 ml
- Banana1
- Ground cinnamon¼ tsp
- Walnut pieces1 tbsp
What to do
- Put the oats and milk in a small pan over a low heat.
- Stir every so often for six to eight minutes, until the oats have swollen and the whole thing pulls together behind the spoon.
- Slice the banana in and stir once — half of it will melt into the porridge.
- Tip into a bowl and top with the cinnamon and walnuts.
