Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons Nutella
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 banana, sliced
- Chopped nuts for topping
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and milk over medium heat, stirring gently to ensure even mixing.
- Cook the oats, continuously stirring to prevent sticking, for approximately 5-7 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken and becomes creamy in consistency.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the Nutella, stirring thoroughly to create a rich, chocolate-hazelnut swirl throughout the porridge.
- Drizzle honey into the porridge and mix well, which will enhance the sweetness and provide a smooth, glossy texture.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the porridge rest for 1-2 minutes to allow further thickening.
- Transfer the porridge into two serving bowls, ensuring an even distribution.
- Top each bowl with freshly sliced banana and sprinkle chopped nuts over the surface for added crunch and nutrition.
- Serve immediately while warm, allowing the Nutella to remain slightly melted and creating a luxurious breakfast experience.
Tips
- Choose Your Milk Wisely: For a creamier texture, opt for whole milk or even almond milk. Each type of milk will give your porridge a unique flavor and richness.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the amount of honey based on your taste preference. If you prefer a sweeter porridge, feel free to add a bit more!
- Mix Up the Toppings: While bananas and chopped nuts are delicious, don’t hesitate to experiment with other toppings like berries, coconut flakes, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra flavor boost.
- Keep Stirring: To achieve that perfect creamy consistency, make sure to stir the oats continuously while they cook. This prevents them from sticking to the bottom of the pan and ensures even cooking.
- Let It Rest: Allowing the porridge to sit for a couple of minutes after cooking will help it thicken even more, giving you that luxurious, velvety texture.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy your porridge immediately while it’s warm and the Nutella is still slightly melted for the ultimate breakfast experience.
