Ingredients: 90 g Rolled oats; 160 ml Coconut milk; 230 ml Water; 140 g Banana; 1 g Fine salt

Coconut milk rounds out a warm oat porridge with banana both stirred in and sliced on top. It is a softer breakfast than a bowl of fruit and yogurt, with one part of the banana helping sweeten the base. Stir often over low heat, especially near the bottom, and remember that the porridge will thicken after it leaves the stove.

Storage

Keep perishable ingredients refrigerated according to their labels. Serve promptly. Chill cooked leftovers promptly in shallow covered portions and consult the official storage chart for the food type.

For perishable foods and leftovers, U.S. FDA guidance calls for prompt refrigeration, no more than two hours at room temperature (one hour above 32°C/90°F), and a refrigerator at or below 4°C/40°F. Follow the product label and local guidance. Smell and appearance alone cannot establish safety.

FDA handling and storage conditions

Ingredient substitution

Use ripe banana as listed, not dried banana chips. The mashed fruit moistens the porridge while chips remain chewy and do not replace the same water content by weight.
