Ingredients

  • 1 cup Red Tractor rolled oats

  • 1 tbsp Red Tractor chia seeds

  • 2 small ripe bananas, 1 mashed, 1 sliced

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1.5 cups whole milk

  • ½ cup Jalna Greek Yoghurt

  • 50 g 70% dark chocolate, melted

  • 1 tbsp walnuts, chopped

Date Caramel

  • 5 Medjool dates, pitted, torn

  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste

  • Pinch of sea salt

  • ½ cup hot water

Method

  • For the date caramel, place all the ingredients into the jug of a stick blender or food processor. Set aside for 10 minutes to soften, then blitz until smooth and creamy.

  • Divide the oats, chia seeds, mashed banana, cinnamon, and milk evenly into 2 serving glasses or jars. Stir well to combine, then press down into an even layer.

  • Top with the sliced banana, yoghurt, and 2 tablespoons of date caramel in each. Drizzle with the melted chocolate and scatter with walnuts and a pinch of salt flakes.

  • Place into the fridge overnight for the oats to soften and become creamy, and the chocolate to set.

  • Serve and enjoy.
