My first recipe isn't really a recipe, more a mouthwatering combination of delicious things that I like to eat for breakfast in one big until-lunch-time-lasting bowl!
(I will upload a picture when I miraculously remember to take my camera into the kitchen when I'm still half asleep)
Ingredients
1 cup of porridge oats
1/3 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp demerara sugar
2 cups of milk (or 1 cup water, 1 cup milk)
1 large tsp honey
1/2 - 1 banana depending on individual preference
Add the porridge oats, cinnamon, sugar and milk to the pan and stir continually until the porridge thickens. Once the porridge has thickened sufficiently take off the heat and stir in a splash more milk (I tend to find if I miss out this last step the porridge thickens more before I eat it, but obviously it depends how you like your porridge!). Poor the porridge into a bowl, slice the banana and add to the top. Finally drizzle the honey all over the top of porridge (personally I like to make sure the bananas are well and truly covered in honey!) and voila!
Additionally (for me this happens earlier in the week when I have some left over after making American Style pancakes mmmmmm) you could add a heaped tsp (more or less to taste) of berry coulis to the porridge before adding the banana and honey. To make add half a cup of mixed berries (I use frozen as I am a poor poor student!), 1/4 cup of sugar, a squeeze of lemon juice and if you are feeling particularly adventurous (and happen to have this lurking in your cupboard) a dash of raspberry liqueur to a pan and heat until the berries soften (approximately 5 minutes).
