Chocolate banana oat pudding
I have been rushing to bake for years when I saw my bananas turning yellow and showing black spots, so I had to find another solution for my ripe bananas. On Sundays, it was easy because we will turn them into pancakes, but I needed something quick and easy during the week.

What kind of oats can I use?
Over the years, I have learnt about sprouting, so when I found already sprouted oats, that are all I buy. Why sprouted oats? Research shows that sprouting leads to substantial changes in the biochemical composition of whole grains. The amount of anti-nutrients or inhibitors of vitamin and mineral absorption decreases, and bioactive compounds like GABA increases. Meaning they are easier to digest, and we can absorb all nutrients easily.
Do I need to cook the rolled oats?
Even when you use regular rolled oats, you don’t need to cook them. Just pour the boiled water over them and leave them to soak overnight, and you can make the pudding in the morning.
