Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by mashing 1/4 of a ripe banana until smooth using a fork or similar utensil. Ensure there are no large lumps for a better texture.
Step 2
In a bowl with the mashed banana, add the rolled oats, milk (or your preferred plant-based milk), a pinch of salt, chia seeds, and cinnamon powder.
Step 3
Next, incorporate the unsweetened cocoa powder for a deep chocolate flavor, vanilla extract for a subtle aroma, and allulose (or your preferred sweetener) for a touch of sweetness. Stir everything together thoroughly until well combined and no lumps remain.
Step 4
Transfer the well-mixed oat mixture into an airtight container (like a glass jar or food container). Seal it tightly and refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften beautifully.
Step 5
The next day, take your overnight oats out of the refrigerator. Just before serving, arrange the sliced fresh banana on top and dollop with almond butter or sprinkle with sliced almonds for added richness and nutty crunch.
Step 6
Finally, sprinkle generously with cacao nibs for a delightful crunch and a boost of chocolatey flavor. If you desire, add fresh strawberries (optional) for a burst of freshness. Enjoy your delicious creation!
