Total time: 7 min
Yield: 1

Method

1Mash the banana with a fork until fairly smooth.
2Put the oats and milk in a small pan and bring to a gentle simmer over a medium heat.
3Stir often for about 4-5 minutes until the porridge thickens.
4Stir through most of the mashed banana and warm for another minute.
5Spoon into a bowl and top with the rest of the banana.

Softer texture: add a little more milk at the end for a looser, easier-to-eat porridge.
