You can still have variety while eating the same thing.

I prefer to cook my oats like porridge rather than letting them soak or as baked oats. Any method works following the same recipe but if baking just add a pinch of baking soda to help them rise.

These are perfect cold the next day or heat them up again in the microwave for a minute or so before eating - helps to melt the chocolate too.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 40g oats

  • ½ banana

  • 5g chia seeds

  • 1 serve vanilla whey protein

  • 7.5g cocoa powder

  • 35mls sugar free maple syrup

  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon

  • 20g dark chocolate

  • Pinch of salt

METHOD

  1. Mash ½ a banana in a microwave safe bowl.

  2. Add the oats, cinnamon, chia seeds, and salt to the bowl. Top with 180mls of water, give a quick stir, and then heat in the microwave for 1min. Remove and stir before adding it back in for another minute. Continue cooking in 30sec bouts until oats are cooked. It’ll take around 3-4 minutes.

  3. Once cooked, allow to sit for a couple of minutes to slightly cool. Meanwhile, bring a jug of water to the boil and mix the cocoa powder with half of the maple syrup and about 20-30mls of boiled water. Stir to combine.

  4. Once the oats have cooled slightly mix through the protein powder. Then stir in the remaining maple syrup.

  5. Top the oats with the cocoa mixture, spreading evenly, and place into the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.

  6. Crumble or grate over the dark chocolate when ready to eat.
