Banana and cinnamon porridge

A warm, filling breakfast built on oats and banana, two of the foods most people with reflux tolerate well.

Why it suits reflux: Oats are high in fibre and low in fat. Cinnamon adds sweetness without acid.

Ingredients

  • 50 g porridge oats
  • 300 ml semi-skimmed or oat milk
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp honey (optional)

Method

  1. Put the oats and milk in a small pan over a medium heat.
  2. Stir for 4 to 5 minutes until thick and creamy.
  3. Slice half the banana into the pan and mash the rest in, then stir in the cinnamon.
  4. Top with the remaining banana slices and a little honey if you like.
