This August has not disappointed in terms of the weather. It is hot and humid as expected and I don’t like it! It basically takes away the will to do anything and makes everything uncomfortable. Clothes, cooking, working or taking a walk outside.
For breakfast, I prefer something cold. Since you can eat porridge hot or cold, this chocolate porridge is perfect.
To make chocolate porridge I add cocoa powder. But the best part of this dish is the caramelised bananas. I sprinkled them with some sugar broiled them until they are browned. If you have a blow torch that would too.
