Overnight oats are one of the easiest make-ahead breakfasts that you can make, simply whisk together the ingredients and leave to soften in the fridge overnight. I often make a big batch on a Sunday and eat them throughout the week. I am always looking for new flavour combinations many of which you can find already on this site.
This edition is super simple, ripe bananas and cocoa are mashed and added to my base overnight oats recipe. The addition of banana adds sweetness so I’ve left the addition of maple syrup as optional for those who have a sweet tooth. You can top your oats with additional fresh fruit or nuts of your choice.
