Who needs dessert when you can have it for breakfast? These chocolate banana oats are so freaking yummy, and the texture and flavour combo is elite! The oats are creamy and rich, with a ganache-like chocolate topping that takes it to the next level. Refrigerate overnight and wake up to a breakfast that feels like a treat. Highly recommend!

Cook the oats with the mashed banana, liquid, and flax seeds over medium heat until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and mix in the yoghurt, protein powder, and cinnamon until well combined.
Combine the cocoa powder with boiling water, adding the water a little at a time to achieve a ganache-like consistency.
Sweeten to taste with your preferred sweetener.
Spread the chocolate topping evenly over the oats.
Refrigerate the oats overnight to allow the flavours to meld and the texture to set.
Top with banana slices in the morning and enjoy!

You can substitute flax seeds with chia seeds if preferred.
Adjust the consistency of the chocolate topping by adding boiling water gradually.
Use any liquid of your choice, such as almond milk or regular milk, instead of water for a creamier texture.
Can I use a different protein powder?
Yes, you can use any protein powder you like, but it may slightly alter the flavour.
Can I skip the overnight refrigeration?
Refrigerating overnight enhances the texture and flavour, but you can eat it immediately if you prefer.
What sweetener works best for the chocolate topping?
You can use any sweetener you like, such as stevia, honey, or maple syrup, depending on your taste.
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes, use a plant-based protein powder, dairy-free yoghurt, and a non-dairy liquid like almond milk.
How long can I store the oats?
The oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but they are best enjoyed fresh.
