Banana Chocolate Oatmeal Pudding

Seriously, banana, chocolate, and pudding all in one and for BREAKFAST???  Who doesn't love that? What kid wouldn't love that?

SUPER easy to make!  You can make this gluten free if you use gluten free oats.

I don't have exact measurements, I just like to dump.  And if you have leftovers, bonus, you don't have to cook breakfast tomorrow morning!  :D

I use a red pot for my oatmeal, so I fill it half way up with oats.

Then I added almond milk (mine is flavored vanilla) til its just over the oats.

A splash of vanilla, and cinnamon ( a good teaspoon to 2 for cinnamon) and add 4 mushy brown bananas. The cool thing here is you don't have to fully mash them because you will be putting this mixture in the blender!

Cook that until its soft and consistency you want it.

Here comes the fun part!

Pour about 1/2 cup milk in your blender.  Add half of the oatmeal in your blender and top with a handful of chocolate chips.  You can add more if you want, but that's all I added. Turn it on (after lid is on of course...!!!) and blend til desired consistency.  You may need to add more milk or oat mixture to blender depending on consistency.  Like I said, I don't measure because I know how much I use and how much my kiddos eat.  :)  But seriously this recipe wouldn't be all that bad to have leftovers in!

Pour into a bowl and top with chopped peanuts and dry oats.

This has a wonderful flavor of bananas, chocolate, and peanuts!  Thinking you could add some peanut butter to this, or sunflower or nut butter depending on allergies.

I don't give my kids chocolate for breakfast, so it's a rare treat!  I also figure, a few chocolate chips is better than a huge bowl of coco puffs, and if you give that to your kids, TOTALLY NOT judging!  I just chose not to give my kids that kind of cereal.  You do what is best for YOU and your family! :)

This completely filled them up while only using about 1/4 cup of chocolate chips.  The only sugar in this recipe is the chocolate chips and whatever is in bananas.

My kids def loved this and want it again!

My kids were so excited to eat this that as soon as I said it's ready! Come and get it, the. RAN into kitchen and lined up! As you can see my youngest couldn't wait to get his hands on his breakfast! ;)
