Method
- For the banana and chocolate overnight oats
Chocolate doesn't have to be unhealthy thanks to this nifty Lean in 15 recipe that uses cocoa to get the delicious flavour without the fat. Joe says, "Just like cheese and wine, chocolate and banana were made for each other. This is a great way to use up bananas that are going black. As they overripen, they become softer and sweeter, both great things for the overall taste of this brekkie."
- Place all the ingredients apart from the rolled oats and dark chocolate in a blender and blitz until smooth.
- Pour the mixture over the oats and stir well. Leave to soak in a sealable container in the fridge for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
- When you’re ready to eat, sprinkle the dark chocolate over the top.
- Tip all the ingredients apart from the apricots, raisins and honey into a large bowl and mix well. Pour the mix into a sealable container and leave to soak in the fridge for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
- When you’re ready to eat, remove the lid and top with the dried apricots, raisins and a drizzle of honey.
