Chocolate and banana overnight oats are a deliciously decadent but ridiculous easy breakfast recipe! All you need is big rolled oats, some cocoa powder, milk (almond milk is particularly yummy in this recipe), maple syrup or honey, and bananas! Try doubling up this recipe and making enough for a dessert and just to make the next day’s breakfast ahead. It is a brilliant on the go breakfast or even lunch.
Oats are incredibly tasty and filling whether its breakfast or a yummy dessert. The bigger rolled oats are less processed and therefore better for you. If you use smaller oats they could become a bit soggy if left for longer than a day. And of course when you soak the oats overnight you’ll be increasing the nutritional value, make them much easier the digest and they’ll taste more creamy.
