Instructions

Peel the bananas and mash them with a fork into a rough purée.
In a saucepan, heat the coconut milk and water over low heat.

Add cinnamon if you like, then serve lukewarm, topped with toasted coconut if you have some.

Lighter version. Replace half the coconut milk with water for a less rich porridge.
