This indulgent twist on classic Jamaican cornmeal porridge swirls a quick homemade salted caramel sauce into the creamy cornmeal base. Topped with golden, pan-fried banana slices, it transforms a humble breakfast staple into a decadent morning treat that remains easy to prepare.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the fine cornmeal with 1 cup of the water until completely smooth to ensure there are no lumps.
In a medium pot, bring the remaining 2 cups of water and the coconut milk to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour in the cornmeal mixture while whisking constantly to prevent clumping.
Stir in half of the salt (1/4 tsp), the cinnamon, and the nutmeg. Cover the pot and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring every few minutes so the bottom does not burn.
While the porridge cooks, melt the salted butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced bananas, brown sugar, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bananas are caramelized and a syrup forms.
Once the porridge is thick and smooth, stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.
Ladle the warm porridge into bowls and top generously with the salted caramel bananas and syrup.
