Method
Blend half a banana with the water until smooth: this is your banana milk.
2 min
Pour the banana milk into a small pot, add the oats and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
3 min
Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until thick and creamy; add a splash of water if it gets too thick.
6 min
Meanwhile, simmer the raspberries and black currants with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of water for 3 to 4 minutes, mashing them into a loose sauce. No sugar needed.
4 min
Spoon the porridge into a bowl, drizzle the berry sauce over it and top with the banana slices, orange slices, sliced almonds and mint.
Tips
- A very ripe banana gives the sweetest banana milk.
- Frozen berries work just as well as fresh ones for the sauce.
Notes
Our version of a dish Ely ate at Я люблю тебя, a vegan café in Sochi that cooks without sugar or animal products.
