Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 small banana (I’ve found starchier yellow bananas work better for this compared to brown so the banana taste isn't overpowering)
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup plain nonfat greek yogurt (or full fat if you prefer!)
  • 1/2 cup quick/instant or rolled oats (not steel cut – for gluten free choose certified GF oats)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • Pinch salt
  • 1-2 tbsp dark chocolate chips
  • 1-2 tbsp shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened, your choice)

Instructions

Directions:

  • Add banana to a bowl and mash with a fork. Add applesauce and yogurt and stir with a spoon until relatively smooth.
  • Add oats and mix with a spoon until well combined. Stir in vanilla and salt, then fold in chocolate chips and coconut. Enjoy!
