John has had to hide the dark chocolate chips, as I have been sticking my hand in the bag too much. I had been sprinkling them on my oats, and John suggested something to replace it that worked out great – cocoa powder!
The recipe:
1/2 cup rolled oats (40 grams)
1/2 of a banana, mashed (the riper, the better!)
1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder.
1-2 tsp of peanut butter.
I mashed the banana really well and added it to the water before boiling, this helps break it down better. Frozen and thawed nanas work great for this Added the oats and cocoa powder and cooked until done.
Topped with the peanut butter. Yummy!!
I lloooooooooooovve peanut butter in my oatmeal. This looks really good – I’m going to have to try it!

What a great idea. I’ll have to try that.
That sounds delish. I’m emailing the post to myself so I can make it tomorrow morning. 🙂
Haha, great minds DO think alike!! You even added banana + PB to yours too!! I love feeling like I’m eating dessert for breakfast 😉
are we talking the cocoa powder which IS NOT sweet by itself?
Miz — yep, unsweetened cocoa powder (for baking)
That looks delicious! What a wonderful change. I’m going to have to try it!
Oh my! That sounds soooo good!!!
