A healthy breakfast doesn’t have to be a boring breakfast! This Cinnamon Porridge with Banana Pecan Topping is nutritious, delicious and easy to make.
Using oat milk (instead of water or milk) to prepare this breakfast raises your intake of a soluble fibre called beta-glucan which can actively help reduce cholesterol absorption. This means your delicious brekkie is also good for your heart health!
