How to make banana porridge with cinnamon

• Mix the porridge oats - tip the oats into a big bowl with the milk and stir gently.

• Microwave for 2 minutes - check the packet instructions for product specific cooking times and temperatures.

• Cook the bananas - add the butter to a non-stick pan, when it starts to sizzle add the sliced banana and drizzle over the honey. Allow the bananas to sizzle and cook until sticky, it will only take a couple of minutes.

• Top your porridge - add the hot bananas and sprinkle with just a pinch of cinnamon, then eat straight away whilst it's still warm and delicious.

What fruit is best with porridge?

Really you can add any fruit you like to eat - it's your bowl of porridge!

I kinda think bananas or berries (like strawberries, raspberries and blueberries work best)

But you can also add chopped pears, apples and kiwi - and I also really like tinned mandarin... it works, honestly!
