On those cold chilly wintery morning, there is nothing more satisfying than serving up a bowl of delicious creamy hot porridge. I remember as a child my mum making her delicious homemade porridge covered in brown sugar and milk for my sister and me on those cold mornings before school.
This tahini vanilla porridge recipe is absolutely delicious. So warm and soothing on these cooler mornings. The tahini adds a nutty taste and the sweetness of vanilla paste and sliced caramelised banana creates the perfect flavour combination for this creamy nourishing porridge. This breakfast will keep you full, nourished and energised for the entire morning.
I know this recipe will become a winter breakfast favourite, as it is in my household. Although I have to admit, I love this porridge all year round and in summer I enjoy it topped with fresh berries and a dollop of natural yoghurt. Tahini Vanilla Porridge topped with Caramelised Banana’s
