- 1 tablespoon butter or ghee
- 1 ½ tablespoon maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup chopped pecans

- Place the nuts, dates, chia, vanilla and sea salt in a food processor and pulse until finely ground (stopping before you create a nut butter).
- Transfer the nut mixture to a pot. Add the coconut milk and turn the heat to medium-high. Stir until hot and smooth, then remove from the heat.
- Peel the bananas and slice in half, then again lengthwise.
- Heat a skillet on medium heat and add the butter, maple syrup and cinnamon and stir until combined. Place the bananas in the skillet and cook for one minute, then carefully flip and cook for an additional minute on the other side.
- Divide the porridge between four bowls. Add the caramelized bananas, a sprinkle of chopped pecans and ¼ cup coconut milk to each bowl. Serve immediately.
