BANANA COCOA OVERNIGHT OATS TOPPED WITH BANANA AND PLUM




So much enthusiasm has been put on this magic recipe across different forms of social media. Maybe you have seen several appealing images of these fitfood which are being endorsed by numerous fitness experts and fans.


And maybe too, you wonder how it is prepared and made. The presentation can be quite overwhelming for first timers but a little drill will help you master it.

Overnight oats are as good as the regular oatmeal only a bit intricate when it comes to the preparation. Normally, you would need oats (of your choice) and a liquid (of your choice) to come up with a thick base. Regular oatmeal and granola are just one of the numerous options which you can try. As for the liquid, you can either use regular or flavoured milk. *I like using rolled oats and non-fat milk *  The proportion of oat to liquid that I frequently follow is 1:2. You want a fluffy and thicker consistency, not watery. You place it in the fridge overnight and the next morning you can add fruits of your choice, smoothie, nuts, cream, syrup, even a leftover cake!

As you can imagine, this recipe is indeed tailored to your own liking. The compatibility of the ingredients is surprisingly appetizing. It is like you are making your own masterpiece as you put up one layer after another. Others even do some modifications to make it vegan, gluten-free and vegetarian!


I will be sharing one of the recipes which I have tried so far.

  • 1 cup rolled oats
