Creamy Oat Porridge with Banana and Cinnamon

Preparation 5 minutes Cooking Allow 10 minutes Makes 4 portions Cost $0.98 per portion (based on retail prices) Season Any Ability Easy Can Best fresh Equipment Stove Did you know? This Super Porridge contains approximately 25% more energy and a third more fiber than regular porridge just cooked with milk. The benefits: Chia seeds are a good source of fiber, protein and omega 3. The added coconut oil gives the dish an energy boost and the oats have a low glycemic index, which means they provide a slow release of energy. Oats also contain a soluble fiber called beta-glucan which can help reduce cholesterol levels.

Method:
Place the oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, coconut oil and milk into a medium size pot. Cook over gentle heat until the porridge boils and thickens, stir constantly. Divide between the 4 bowls, top with sliced banana rounds, a drizzle of honey and the shaved Macadamias.
