  • 400 ml milk or oat drink

  • 1 pinch cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 pinch salt

Method

  1. Gently warm the milk or oat drink with a pinch of salt; do not let it boil.
  2. Stir in the semolina slowly and let it thicken over low heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring.
  3. Slice the banana and fold it in or place on top.
  4. Dust with a little cinnamon if you like and serve warm.

Why this recipe is gentle

The semolina is only gently warmed in milk or oat drink and stays low-fat and soft. A pinch of salt and a little optional cinnamon add flavour without spice, onion or citrus.
