Good to know

A porridge like this makes for a slow, easy start to the morning. Sweet from the banana, creamy on the spoon, warm and comforting.

Swaps

Peanut butter → almond butter (more vitamin E) | Oat milk → unsweetened almond milk (usually a little thinner) | Blueberries → raspberries (more fibre) | Banana → unsweetened apple purée (milder sweetness, similarly fruity)

Allergens

Contains gluten (oats, oat milk) and peanuts; if needed, use gluten-free oats. Good for children once nut butters have been introduced in an age-appropriate way; during pregnancy the ingredients are common and unremarkable.
