Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp (14g) unsalted butter
  • 1 medium (120g) ripe banana, sliced into rounds
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • 1 cup (240ml) water
  • 1/2 cup (60g) regular Cream of Wheat (Farina)
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) fine sea salt
  • 1 tbsp (21g) maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) heavy cream

Instructions:

  1. Place a small non-stick saucepan over medium heat and melt the butter until it foams. Add the banana slices in a single layer and sauté for 2–3 minutes without stirring too often, until golden brown. Sprinkle cinnamon over the bananas and stir for 30 seconds.
  2. Pour the whole milk and water directly into the pan with the caramelized bananas and add the salt. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer.
  3. Slowly whisk in the Cream of Wheat in a steady stream. Continue whisking constantly for 5–7 minutes until the mixture thickens into a smooth, creamy porridge.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Fold in the heavy cream to finish.
