Cooking Time – N/A
Ingredients
1 cup Red Tractor rolled oats
1 tbsp Red Tractor chia seeds
2 small ripe bananas, 1 mashed, 1 sliced
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1.5 cups whole milk
½ cup Jalna Greek Yoghurt
50 g 70% dark chocolate, melted
1 tbsp walnuts, chopped
Date Caramel
5 Medjool dates, pitted, torn
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
Pinch of sea salt
½ cup hot water
Method
For the date caramel, place all the ingredients into the jug of a stick blender or food processor. Set aside for 10 minutes to soften, then blitz until smooth and creamy.
Divide the oats, chia seeds, mashed banana, cinnamon, and milk evenly into 2 serving glasses or jars. Stir well to combine, then press down into an even layer.
Top with the sliced banana, yoghurt, and 2 tablespoons of date caramel in each. Drizzle with the melted chocolate and scatter with walnuts and a pinch of salt flakes.
Place into the fridge overnight for the oats to soften and become creamy, and the chocolate to set.
Serve and enjoy.
