    Helpful Tips!

    • Your bruising, unused, and uneaten ripe bananas don't have to waste away on your kitchen counter. Grab some of it and use it for this recipe as it is two times sweeter than the newly ripened bananas.
    • Don't add too much milk in cooking the oats unless you want to make the recipe runny and watery instead of thick and creamy.
    • You can use rolled oats or porridge oats for this recipe, as both will make a thick and creamy porridge.

    Recipe FAQs

    Is this recipe freezer-friendly?

    Of course. Frozen Peanut Butter Porridge can last up to 3 months in the freezer so long as it is stored in an airtight container. However, it would be best to finish all servings of this porridge as it is best eaten right after the oats are cooked.

    Why is my porridge not thick and creamy?

    You must have poured too much milk into the oats. The key to creamier and thicker porridge is adding just enough milk to cook the oats until they create a thicker consistency.
