Breakfast Vibes ~ Porridge with caramelized bananas

Hey guys!

It's been a while, I know. I'm sorry.
I needed time to get settled in a new city after my move in September, needed to spend time with new friends, find a job, get uni life flowin' and over all, just create a life here. I hope you understand that blogging wasn't my no.1 priority during this important and exciting time of my life.
If you want to check out more frequent food posts, i encourage you to take a look at my Instagram (@mangoandcoconuts) and for even more frequent updates, check out my snapchat (@jasminbo) as well.

Okay, now. I'm almost done with my final exams for this first semester, which will, once completed, end in a lot of time to write, create & practice my photography.

This porridge up there is creamy, yummy, coconuty and delishhh. Could it get any better? Nah, don't think so.

Coconut Porridge with Caramelized Bananas

• 1 drop coconut essence (optional) 
• 1 tbsp maple syrup 
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp maca powder (optional) 
• 1/2 tsp lucuma powder (optional) 
• 1/2 cup almond milk (or your favorite plant milk, you can also use coconut milk for an even creamier finish!)

• 1 banana, sliced in half & then quarters (8 little long pieces pieces) 
• 1 tsp coconut sugar

Method

2. Reduce heat to low. 
3. Meanwhile, cut your banana and sprinkle it with coconut sugar. 
4. Put in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes. Alternatively, you could also use the "broiling" section in your oven and broil them for about 1 minute, but KEEP WATCHING THEM. 
5. Don't forget to stir your oatmeal. 
6. After about 5-7 minutes, it should be all ready and creamy. 
7. Pour into a bowl, top with banana pieces and pomegranate seeds. 
8. Enjoy!
