Choconana Overnight Oats

Choconana. Chocolate and banana. This is quite possibly my favourite flavour combination.

I have made these oats every morning for the past few days. They are THAT AWESOME. You know the recipe is a keeper when your toddler requests it again! So much better than our regular toast for breakfast…(been reading about acrylamides…ew. Would you like some carcinogens with that?). Yes, oats are far superior!

But what’s even more awesome is the amount of nutrients in this delicious breakfast. One serve of this will give you a boost of omega-3 fatty acids, iron, calcium, and much more. So tasty and chocolatey, but sooo good for you too! And of course, these are vegan, gluten-free (if using gluten free oats), and refined sugar free. (Blackstrap molasses is the nutrient-rich “waste” product from refined sugar).
