• lime zest of about 1/2 lime

• mint
• 2 tsp cacao nibs

Method:

1. In a pan, add together oats, milk, chopped banana and matcha powder.**
2. Bring to a light boil, let it simmer for about 5 minutes until thick and creamy. It is important to add the banana from the start so that it becomes soft (and the flavour becomes better too!).
3. Flavour the porridge with cinnamon, lime zest and vanilla (all to taste).
4. Stir it through so that the banana is incorporated with the oats completely.

7. I baked the lumpia's in my airfryer, 5 minutes on 200 degrees C until the banana is soft and the lumpia paper is a bit crisp, but you can use an oven too (will take a little longer to bake) or if you are in a rush you can fry them in a bit of coconut oil in a frying pan (you use more fat this way but result is delicious).
8. For the sidedishes: mix coconut yogurt with lime zest and top with mint.
9. Eat the lumpia with coconut yogurt and peanut butter with some nuts on the side.
