Boiled Banana Breakfast

March 11, 2009

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* one ultra-ripe banana, frozen solid
* one serving of a cereal of your choice (Grapenuts or bran flakes for me)
* two tablespoons wheat germ

Directions:

1. Slice the banana into 1-inch thick circles.
Arrange banana slices at the bottom of a nonstick
saucepan, cover, and cook at medium heat until
juicy and bubbling. (It is important that the
banana is both very ripe and very frozen, or it
won’t get juicy when you “boil” it.)

2. Mix together your cereal and wheat germ in a
bowl, then dump the hot banana on top. Mush it
all together. Eat it right away if you like your
cereal a little crunchy, or let it sit for a bit
for a softer consistency.

This is my favorite breakfast. “Boiling” (don’t
know a better term for it) the banana intensifies
the flavor to divine heights. It’s healthy as
heck, too!
