Caramelized banana porridge with cinnamon & berries 💚
✳️Plant-based
✳️Oil-free
If there's ONE reason to get a kitchen torch, it's this. I can't get that fire caramelized flavor and aroma from a banana any other way. You can caramelize them for sure, but side-by-side there's something magical that happens when the flame touches the banana. (I did a side-by-side this morning and the torched banana was an entirely different result)
📌 Recipe for one lovely, nice and runny porridge:
1 cup unsweetened plain almond milk
1 cup water
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 banana
½ cup traditional rolled oats
- Slice the banana lengthwise and caramelize the exposed sides with a kitchen torch (until nice and toasted, about a minute). Discard banana skin.
- In a pot, heat almond milk, water, vanilla, and half the caramelized banana until simmering.
- Mash the banana into small chunks once it's warmed.
- When the liquid reaches a simmer, add the oats.
- Cook the oats, uncovered, until nearly reaching your desired consistency, about 15-20 minutes.
- Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Serve with the remaining caramelized banana slices, a generous sprinkle of cinnamon, and any other desired toppings.
