    Delicious breakfast. Often have cinnamon porridge at home, but never thought to add banana into the cooking- nice touch. I added mixed berries to the topping, strawberries and blueberries. I also love the idea of the yoghurt on the porridge. Yummy and filling!

    SUCH a nice way to do porridge. The recipe was simple, and the ingredients and flavours went really well together. I'll definitely be making it on the weekends as my treat-breakfast!

    This is a real nice filling breakfast which will see you through until lunchtime. I didn't have any berries and it was still scrumptious with just bananas definitely cook the bananas beforehand for an extra sweet treat!

    I have something similar most mornings. I mash the banana and mix it into the porridge which sweetens it so there is no need for poisonous sugar. I use skimmed milk or sometimes almond milk. I often add berries if there are any to hand and sprinkle pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and sometimes hemp. I then add home made easiyo yogurt. I also sometimes add turmeric. This provides soluble and insoluble fibre, health fats, amino acids, protein and tastes very good.
