- Oats: This is the only ingredient that’s non-negotiable. Make sure to use plain rolled oats or gluten-free oats and not the quick microwavable oats because the consistency is better with rolled. I get mine from Wholefoods
- Oat Milk: I use oat milk with a splash of water but you can use any milk.
- Cocoa Powder: Hot chocolate powder works!
- Alpro Vanilla Yoghurt: This gives the oats flavour, and gives a creamier texture.
- Honey (optional): If you have a sweet tooth like me, the honey gives an extra sweetness to the oats or you can use another sweetener.
- Peanut Butter: Smooth or crunchy (crunchy is better!).
- Toppings: Dark chocolate chips and fresh bananas. You can get creative with fruit, dried fruit, nuts, seeds and spices (cinnamon).
- Chia seeds (optional): These seeds are packed with tons of nutrition.
