No More Sugar! A Delicious Oatmeal, Cocoa, and Banana Dessert That’s Naturally Sweet

Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe bananas (the riper, the sweeter)
  • 1 cup rolled oats (you can use quick oats or steel-cut oats, but rolled oats offer the best texture)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for extra warmth and flavor)
  • 1/4 cup water or almond milk (adjust based on your desired consistency)
  • A pinch of sea salt (to enhance the chocolate flavor)
  • Chopped nuts or seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Oats:
  • Begin by cooking your oats. If you prefer stovetop cooking, combine your oats and water or almond milk in a saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the oats have absorbed most of the liquid and become tender. This should take about 5-7 minutes for rolled oats.
