TO MAKE THIS YOU WILL NEED

• rolled oats

• a ripe banana

• ground cinnamon

• baking powder

• almond milk or milk of choice

• a thick, Greek-style plantbased yoghurt

• peanut butter, unsweetened and without any added oils.

• pure maple syrup (optional), not maple flavoured syrup

THE "BANANA BREAD"

For this breakfast I like a bit a texture in the oats.

To do this I add half the rolled oats and the rest of the ingredients for the oats to a high-speed blender and blend for a few seconds until smooth. Add the rest of rolled oats give a quick mix, before pouring into the oven-proof ramekin.

If you prefer a fine baked oats texture you can add all the rolled oats to the blender.

BAKING TIME

The baking time will depend on the shape and size of the bowl you are using, but also remember that ovens vary. Check after 15 minutes if the oats is cooked to your liking. If after 18 minutes the oats is not cooked enough, simply leave it in for another 1 - 2 minutes.

THE "FROSTING"

This is probably the best part of this breakfast. It is easy to make and also healthy! What is not to love.

To make the frosting all your need to do is mix thick, Greek-style yoghurt and a good peanut butter. If you prefer it sweet, you can add a bit of maple syrup.

OPTIONS AND ADD-INS

• Add a few chopped pecan nuts to the batter, after it has been blended.

• For a gluten-free version, make sure to use a gluten-free certified oats.

• If you are allergic to peanuts, you can replace the peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter.

• To finish place a few additional banana slices on top of the frosting and sprinkle with a few cacao nibs.

• make it even more indulgent and add a few chocolate chips to the oats
