Method
- The night before serving, mash the banana in the base of a bowl and stir in the peanut butter, honey or syrup and cocoa powder.
- Add the milk and whisk well before tipping in the oats and giving one final stir, covering and setting in the fridge overnight.
- In the morning, the oats should have soaked up all the liquid and will be ready to eat with your choice of toppings. If you prefer a looser consistency, add a splash more milk; if you prefer a warm breakfast, heat the oats in a pan or microwave in short bursts until warm.
Tip: Leftover oats will keep for a few days, or freeze for up to three months.
*Note: Rebecca advises not to give honey to babies under a year old.
