No-Cook Chocolate and Banana Porridge, the so-called overnight porridge for a healthy, nutritious, and tasty breakfast.
The porridge is a dessert made from oats of Anglo-Saxon tradition; this version is unique because it is prepared without cooking, with oats absorbing milk or plant-based drink in the refrigerator.
Of course, there are many types, but today I propose a naturally vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-free version based on banana puree and chocolate.

No-Cook Chocolate and Banana Porridge Recipe
Start preparing the no-cook chocolate and banana porridge by peeling a banana and slicing it.
Mash it with a fork or a potato masher until it becomes a puree.
Place the oats, cinnamon, and soy plant-based drink in a bowl. Almond milk is also a good alternative.
Continue with the banana puree and a bit of maple syrup or honey (or your preferred sweetener).
If the plant-based drink used is sweetened, you might not need to add anything.
Mix with a spoon until you get a homogeneous mixture.
Transfer the porridge to the refrigerator and let it rest overnight.
After a night in the fridge, the porridge is ready: the oats will have absorbed the plant-based drink becoming almost creamy.
Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave for 2 minutes at 30-second intervals or on the stove in a bain-marie for 3-5 minutes.
Pour it over the oats and spread it with the back of a spoon.
Finish the preparation of the no-cook chocolate and banana porridge with half a sliced banana.
