    This vegan almond butter banana porridge is creamy, sweet, and nourishing. It’s a wonderful way to start your day!

    Here’s a fun fact: For the first five years of my life, I ate porridge with brown sugar and yogurt at least once a day. Often for supper. Ask my parents and brother: I’m not making this up. It’s almost shocking that this website isn’t just a collection of porridge and peanut butter sandwich recipes, ha! 😉 And while I’ve long since outgrown my picky eating habits, my love of a humble bowl of porridge remains.

    This vegan almond butter banana porridge is simple, to be sure, and there are no doubt hundreds of similar recipes on the internet. But I still think it’s share-worthy, perhaps because of its simplicity. With all that’s going on in the world right now, a warm, comforting bowl of oats could be just what the doctor ordered.

    almond butter banana porridge features

    • Great source of fibre: Okay, most of us know that rolled oats are an excellent source of fibre. But perhaps less well known is the fact that they are high in beta glucan, a form of soluble fibre that reduces “bad” cholesterol and strengthens the immune system!
    • Budget-friendly: Oats, bananas, cinnamon, and non-dairy milk are affordable, and if you can’t justify buying almond butter, you can use peanut butter instead.
    • Comforting: You really can’t beat the comfort that a bowl of warm oatmeal provides.

    ingredients you need

    • Rolled oats, banana, non-dairy milk, almond butter, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt!

    How to make this porridge

    Add all the ingredients to a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Then turn down heat to medium-low and cook for 10 minutes. You can add more milk depending on how thick you like your porridge.

    topping ideas

    I topped my bowl with the other half of banana and somme cacao nibs, but that didn’t feel like enough to me, so I added some of my Chocolate Almond Butter Granola and some frozen wild blueberries. You can also top it with chopped almonds, hemp hearts, strawberries… the sky is the limit!
