Chocolate & Banana Overnight Oats
Easy
We love overnight oats, it’s quick and easy to prepare and great for busy mornings because it’s already made and waiting in the fridge. It can even be enjoyed on-the-go! Flavours and varieties are endless, and this version made with banana, cocoa powder, peanut butter and a little bit of chocolate feels more like a dessert than a delicious breakfast! This is a single serving, but the recipe is easily increased for more portions. We like re-using old jam jars to prepare them in, but use any container or bowl you have on hand.
