Ingredients
- 180g porridge oats (gluten-free, if desired)
- 160ml coconut milk
- 300ml water
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 150g banana (about one medium banana)
- 150g strawberries
Directions
- Combine the porridge oats, coconut milk, water, vanilla extract and ground cinnamon in a saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over low heat. Stir regularly to prevent the oats from sticking.
- Cook until the oats are soft and creamy. Mash the banana with a fork and stir it through near the end of the cooking process.
- In a separate pan, simmer the strawberries with a small splash of water until they are soft and slightly broken down.
- Blend the strawberries to a smooth texture, then swirl the warm compote into the porridge.
