Ingredients:

• • 100 grams Rolled Oats (old-fashioned)
  • 120 milliliters Milk (any type you prefer)
  • 120 milliliters Water

For the topping:

• • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar

• • Pinch of Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 large ripe Banana, mashed (or 2 small bananas)

• 40 grams Cocoa Powder
• Chocolate chips (optional, for extra indulgence)

Instructions:

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (380°F). Lightly grease a baking dish.

       

   2. Combine the Base: In a bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, milk, and water. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, allowing the oats to soften slightly.

       

   3. Prepare the Topping: While the oats are soaking, in a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, salt, and baking powder.

       

1. 1. Incorporate the Cocoa and Banana: Add the mashed banana and cocoa powder to the egg mixture and stir until well combined.

   2. Assemble and Bake: Pour the soaked oats into the prepared baking dish. Spread the chocolatey banana mixture evenly over the oats. If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips on top.

       

   3. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and slightly set.

1. Chill and Enjoy: Let the baked oatmeal cool slightly in the pan before cutting and serving. For a chilled breakfast treat, refrigerate for 2-5 hours or overnight. Enjoy warm or cold, topped with fresh fruit slices, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
