The simplicity of corn flakes with bananas makes it a timeless breakfast choice, perfect for busy mornings when you need something quick yet satisfying. The combination of crunchy corn flakes and soft, sweet bananas creates a delightful contrast in texture, while the cold milk ties everything together with a creamy finish. The natural sweetness of the bananas is often enough, but a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of sugar can elevate the flavor even more. Add a pinch of cinnamon to introduce a warm, aromatic note that complements the fruity banana slices, making this breakfast both comforting and invigorating.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup corn flakes
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup cold milk (or almond milk for a dairy-free option)
- 1 teaspoon honey or sugar (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Banana:
- Peel the banana and slice it into thin rounds. You can cut the slices into halves if you prefer smaller pieces.
- Assemble the Cereal:
- In a medium-sized bowl, pour the corn flakes.
- Gently scatter the banana slices over the corn flakes.
- Add Sweetness (Optional):
- If you like your cereal sweet, drizzle honey or sprinkle sugar over the bananas and corn flakes. This step is optional, as the bananas add natural sweetness.
- Add Milk:
- Pour cold milk over the corn flakes and bananas. The amount of milk can vary depending on your preference for a creamier or crunchier texture.
- Finish with Cinnamon (Optional):
- For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle a light dusting of cinnamon over the top.
- Serve Immediately:
- Enjoy the corn flakes with bananas right away to maintain the crunchy texture of the cereal. If you prefer a softer texture, let the cereal sit for a few minutes before eating.
