Oats, Cocoa, and Banana Dessert – A Healthy, Gluten-Free Treat!

In a bowl, combine the rolled oats and hot milk. Let them soak for about 10 minutes until the oats have softened and absorbed the milk.

Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. If you’re using eggs, beat them lightly. If using a vegan substitute (like flax eggs or chia eggs), prepare the substitute according to the package instructions.

Mix the Ingredients:
Add the mashed bananas and eggs (or vegan substitute) to the soaked oats. Stir in the cocoa powder, pinch of salt, baking powder, and nuts. Mix everything well until it’s fully combined.

Transfer to a Baking Dish:
Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined baking dish (a 9-inch square or equivalent works well).

Bake:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F). Bake the dessert for 40 minutes, or until the top is firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve:
Let the dessert cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
