INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl mash the bananas until smooth. You can even do this in the ovenproof dish that you will be using to bake the oatmeal to save on washing up.
Add the chocolate chips, cocoa powder, maple syrup/sugar, oats, and milk to the bananas and stir to combine.
Spoon into an oven-proof dish and smooth out the top then top with a scattering chocolate chips and optional nuts.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until heated through and a bit crusty on top. Serve warm or cold.
NOTES
Store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days or the freezer for 3 months. You can reheat the entire dish, or individual portions in the microwave or oven. Time will vary depending on how much you're reheating. For individual portions, I usually cook mine on full power for about 40 seconds.
