Banana Oatmeal With Chocolate Topping Recipe

Preparing the Oatmeal

Begin by measuring approximately 40 grams of oats and place them in a saucepan. Add about 250 mL of water or milk to the oats. You can adjust the quantity of liquid depending on how thick or runny you prefer your oatmeal. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the oats are fully cooked and have absorbed most of the liquid.

Adding the Banana

Peel and slice 1 medium banana. Once the oatmeal is cooked, remove it from the heat and gently fold in the sliced banana. The warmth of the oatmeal will slightly soften the banana slices, infusing the dish with natural sweetness and a creamy texture.

Chocolate Topping & Final Touches

For the chocolate topping, sprinkle approximately 5 grams of chocolate shavings or chocolate powder over the oatmeal. For extra sweetness, you can add a sweetener of your choice, such as honey or sugar, according to taste. If desired, you can also sprinkle some cinnamon or other spices to add an aromatic dimension to the dish.
