Chocolate/PB/Banana oats!

I randomly googled a 'Steel cut oats dessert', trying to find some yummy, hardy, gooey, HEALTHY recipes with this wonderful grain and came across an incomplete recipe similar to the one I ending up piecing together below....

This is what it looks like...



Do I have your attention?

This lovely ramekin delight is great for breakfast, a snack or a warm evening dessert and it's 235 cals, full of natural ingredients and whole grain galore!

Ingredients for 4 ramekins:

1 cup steel cut oats
1 banana
2 cups milk or your choice ( I used vanilla coconut)
2 heaping TBSP of unsweetened cocoa powder (Add to a couple tbsps of warm milk and stir to dissolve the powder for easy combining!)
4 TSP of natural Peanut Butter
Sweetener of your choice (2 TBSP of agave, or splenda, or stevia... your choice!)
Vanilla

How to:

Pre-heat oven to 400
Spray 4 ramekins with oil
Line bottom of ramekins with sliced bananas (1/4 banana per dish)

In a bowl combine oats, vanilla and milk

In a small dish warm a few TBSP of milk and add cocoa and sweetener of choice. Stir until dissolved.
Add to oat and milk mixture

Stir until combined and divide mixture up between the 4 ramekins.
Place on a pan and bake for 34-40 minutes. ( Untill dark, gooey, bubbly and delicious looking!)

Remove from oven and place a dollop of natural peanut butter on top of cook oats.

Voila!

I have found that you have to experiment with the amount of sweetener and cocoa. It all depends on your taste!

So delicious, filling and healthy!!!
Enjoy!
