Chocolate Brownie oats

Serving : 1

Prep time: 5mins ; cooking time: 10mins

1/2 cup of rolled oats

1 cup almond milk

1/4 cup of water

1 tbsp of cacao powder

1 tbsp of maple syrup

1 smashed banana

Nut Frosting

1/4 cup + 2 tbsps of unsweetened almond milk

1 cup of raw/natural nuts (cashew / macadamia) – soaked overnight

1/4 cup of maple syrup

2 tsp of lemon juice

1 tsp of vanilla paste

 

Get your hands working:

Soak the raw nuts in water the night before.

Let’s assemble:

Next morning, drain the soaked nuts and put all the ingredients for the “frosting” in a blender. Blend till its of a smooth consistency. You may add a splash of water to make it more runny and smooth.

In a separate pot, pour all the ingredients for the chocolate brownie oats and start stirring the mixture over medium high heat. Try not to bring the mixture to a boil. Keep stirring until the mixture gets thicken or the texture that you like your oatmeal to be in. The longer to you, the thicker the mixture gets. Normally I will keep stirring until the oatmeal starts to get thicken (approx. 5mins) then I will pour it into another bowl to stop the oatmeal from being over-cooked. Put it aside and leave it to cool for 15mins .

Next, I’ve pitted & halved 1 cup of cherries and place it in a my bowl. Assemble everything in a serving bowl,( i did mine like a parfait) and drizzled 1 scoop of frosting on top. Added some cocoa nibs, gojiberries and grated vanilla for the final touch:)

There you go:) You can never go wrong with this combination:) Soul good, so good.
