A delightful and easy-to-make oatmeal recipe with a rich cocoa flavor and the natural sweetness of bananas.
Mash the ripe banana in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth.
Use a fork to mash the banana thoroughly for a smooth texture.
Add the oats, cocoa powder, cinnamon, honey, milk, and salt to the bowl with the mashed banana. Mix well until combined.
Ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed for consistent flavor.
Microwave the mixture on high for 2-3 minutes, stopping to stir halfway through.
Stirring halfway ensures even cooking and prevents overflow.
Let the oatmeal cool slightly before serving. Optionally, top with additional banana slices or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Allowing the oatmeal to cool enhances its creamy texture.
