No More Sugar! A Delicious Oatmeal, Cocoa, and Banana Dessert That’s Naturally Sweet
Mash the Bananas:
While the oats are cooking, peel your ripe bananas and mash them in a bowl using a fork or potato masher. You want a smooth, creamy texture with a few small chunks left for added texture.
Combine the Oats and Bananas:
Once your oats are cooked, stir in the mashed bananas. This will not only add natural sweetness but also make your oats extra creamy. The bananas will begin to melt into the oats, creating a luscious, pudding-like texture.
Add Cocoa and Spices:
Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder, ground cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of sea salt. Cocoa powder will give your dessert that deep, chocolatey richness, while the cinnamon will add warmth and depth. The salt will bring out the natural sweetness of the bananas and enhance the cocoa flavor.
