Start the day right with this healthy baked banana porridge containing walnuts, banana and cinnamon. Bananas are a good source of the amino acid tryptophan, which the body needs to make the feel- good hormone serotonin. When eaten with a carb source such as oats, the brain can absorb the tryptophan easily.

    • 2 small bananas, halved lengthways
    • 100g jumbo porridge oats
    • ¼ tsp cinnamon
    • 150ml milk of your choice, plus extra to serve
    • 4 walnuts, roughly chopped
