Banana porridge with blueberry compote – creamy banana flavoured oat porridge topped with a tangy blueberry compote.
Get two of your five a day in with this healthy, delicious and easy to make breakfast! .
This banana porridge with blueberry compote is an extremely nutritious breakfast due to the healthy oats, nutritious milk, and the fact that each serving contains two portions of your five a day.
It is quick and easy to make (because I hate cooking in the mornings) and will keep you full until lunchtime! Porridge oats are cooked with milk, mashed banana and a little cinnamon, and are served with a quick and tasty blueberry compote.
I didn't add any extra sweetener to the porridge as the ripe banana adds a lot of natural sweetness to it, though you can add a little maple syrup or agave if you feel that it needs it.
The blueberry compote has a little bit of maple syrup in it to stop it from being too sharp; but that is the only added sugar in this recipe.
Many porridge recipes call for the oats to be cooked in water, but I think that they are far, far nicer cooked in milk! You can use any plant based milk that you like, I tend to use a mixture of soy and almond for porridge.

Blueberry Compote:
- 200 g (7oz) blueberries fresh or frozen
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- juice of ½ lemon
Instructions
- Place the oats, mashed banana, milk and cinnamon in a pan and stir well. Bring up to a simmer then turn down the heat and simmer gently, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes or so until thickened to the desired consistency.
- Meanwhile, place the blueberries, maple syrup and lemon juice in a small pan and bring up to a simmer; allow to simmer gently for about 5 minutes until the blueberries have burst and broken down slightly.
- Divide the porridge between two bowls and top with the compote. Serve with extra milk and maple syrup for drizzling.
