Banana Porridge

How to make Banana porridge. Porridge is a breakfast I grew up with. My mum always said her porridge recipes were one of the healthiest breakfasts she could give us. That’s why I make it for my kids today, myself included. I love porridge as when it comes to toppings the sky’s the limit. You only need to check my social media pages to see how many variations of porridge we eat in our house.

Banana and honey porridge is the hands-down favorite for my younger kiddies. When I ask them what toppings they want on their porridge, bananas, and honey is always their first choice.
