Who needs a porridge cafe when you can make your own fancy oats at home?
This is a delicious combo which will satisfy any chocolate lovers out there. The mashed banana adds some sweetness without the need for maple syrup, honey or brown sugar and the seeds add some additional fibre and essential omega 3 fat.
If you’re not sure what to do with the leftover banana, chuck it into a snap lock bag and put it into the freezer for use in a smoothie another time, or double this recipe and make a bowl for a family member.
