Tiramisu Overnight Oats Is So Good It's Like Dessert For Breakfast

On my birthday my daughter surprised me with Tiramisu Overnight Oats! Since then I think about asking her to do it again. Today she surprised me again. It really is delicious and so chocolately it feels like a treat. 

It's really easy to make and is a great source of protein,

1 cup of oats

pinch of salt

3 tablespoons of brewed coffee. She mason jars whatever is left in the pot from the day before so we always have coffee ready.

1 1/4 cups of almond milk

3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder

1.5 tablespoons of chia

2 tablespoons of maple syrup

1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract

1 cup of yogurt. We use Greek but any vanilla will do. 

She makes the oatmeal the day before by mixing together oats, cocoa powder, chia seeds and salt in a bowl with coffee, milk (we use almond), 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Then she covers and lets it sit in the fridge for 8 hours. 

The top she makes the next day a few hours before serving but you can make it right before eating. It's yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract and stir until combined. Then she sprinkles cinnamon all over the top! 

It is delicious.

 

What To Do With Those Extra Ripe Bananas That No One Wants To Eat

Do you ever end up with one or two extra bananas that no one eats? You don't want to throw them out or make yet another loaf of banana bread. So what do you do? We make banana pancakes that are to die for! My daughter has asked for them four days in a row so now we find ourselves buying even more bananas. Go figure.

The original recipe called for a banana and an egg

You simply mash the banana and whisk in some egg.

At this point I add a cap full of vanilla and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Next you add them to a pan with a little cooking spray. We do silver dollar size but you can do whatever you want.

Next we took a tea spoon of Hershey's Chocolate spread and microwaved it for 25 seconds.

Taking a fork I just flicked it across the pancakes and handed the plate off. It is returned to me 3 minutes later.

The pancakes are great without the vanilla, cinnamon or chocolate but why not?

Great way to get your kids to eat some protein & potassium packed breakfast. I am adding ground flex and chia seeds to my next batch!
