In a small bowl, mix all of the ingredients together. Divide between 2 small bowls, mugs, or mason jars. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least an hour (or more) so the oats soften and absorb the liquid). Top with chopped nuts, cinnamon, low sugar syrup, or vanilla Greek yogurt if desired! Enjoy cold, or microwave for 30-60 seconds to enjoy warm!

1 small, ripe banana
2 Tbsp raw cacao powder
2 Tbsp sweetner (raw honey, coconut sugar, maple syrup), optional
2 Tbsp water
1/2 cup rolled oats
3 Tbsp chia seeds
1.5 cups full-fat coconut milk
In a bowl, mash the banana with the cacao, sweetner if using, and water until it forms a smooth paste.
Stir in the oats and chia seeds, and then the milk, stirring continuously.
Place in the fridge overnight either in the bowl or in individual jars.
To serve it warm, add to a saucepan in the morning and heat over low to medium heat around 5 minutes. You may need to add some extra liquid at this point to thin a little if the porride is to thick.
