How to Make Overnight Porridge with Banana and Honey
I start my week off by making a few of these Overnight Porridges with Banana and Honey. I put them in plastic tubs in the fridge where they last for a few days. Then in the morning all I have to do is grab one (in-between sorting the kid’s breakfasts and firing up the coffee machine) and sling it in the microwave for 2 minutes. No decisions to make, no thinking required at all. I get a healthy, filling, hot breakfast that will keep me going until lunch.
This Overnight Porridge Recipe can be made with different fruits and flavourings. It’s great with apples and blueberries are divine. But I keep coming back to this variation time and time again. It’s cheap and easy.
I always have bananas in because it’s a fruit that the kids will frequently eat. But they go through phases, some weeks they will eat a whole pack of bananas and the next week they won’t eat a single one. If I’m buying them in for myself then they are always there if and when the kids want one. But because I’m eating them too they are never around long enough to go to waste.
The recipe is super simple. It’s just the ingredients listed, 1/3 of a cup of oats, 1/2 a cup of milk and a chopped banana. Then I add a drop of honey and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
I pop it all into a plastic tub, put the lid on and sling them in the fridge. I generally make about 3-4 at a time as they last for up to 4 days in the fridge.
In the morning I just grab one, loosen the lid and microwave it for 2 minutes.
I’ve even been known to throw (carefully) one in my car to eat after I’ve dropped the kids off at school before racing off to run errands.
I do hope that my Overnight Porridge Recipe with Banana and Honey has inspired you to have a go at making your own make ahead healthy breakfast.

A Little Bit About Me . . .
Hi there! Thank you so much for stopping by my little corner of the interweb. I’m Bridie.
I’ve been crafting since I was toddling around craft shows while my mum sold knitting yarn. She used to buy me a new craft kit to keep me busy. When I grew up I set up my own online craft shop and loved every minute of it. There’s is nothing like the thrill of getting to be one of the first people to see new craft collections.
I sold my business to focus on raising my two children. They’re still young so for now I’m blogging my craft projects and sharing tutorials to inspire you. I love creating handmade cards with digital stamps. I scrapbook to preserve precious memories of my kids childhoods. I knit and sew to keep my kids in comfortable, unique clothes they love. I create batch cooked meals that give me more time to craft. And because I’m not currently earning I do all of this on a teeny tiny budget.
I’ll show you all the best ways to craft on a tight budget so you can still create a life you love.
I’ve included links to my favourite retailers for the products I’ve used to make my crafts. Click on any of the product images and links for full details. If you decide to buy any of these products I may get a small percentage of what you spend. There’s no cost to you at all.
