Ingredients:

  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup Cream of Wheat
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 banana, sliced
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 pinch cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the mashed banana, milk, water, brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Turn the heat to medium and whisk until the sugar dissolves and the liquid begins to steam.
  2. Gradually whisk in the Cream of Wheat and salt. Stir constantly for the first 3 minutes to break up any starch clumps.
  3. Lower the heat to medium-low and continue stirring occasionally until the mixture transitions to a glossy, velvety porridge.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat once it reaches a thick, pudding-like consistency. Stir in the butter and let sit for one minute before serving.
  5. Divide the porridge into bowls and top each serving with the sliced banana and a pinch of cinnamon.
