Cook with me: Ovenbaked Chocolate Banana Oatmeal

Hello everyone,

I'm presenting you another dish that I tried yesterday for the first time - ovenbaked chocolate banana oatmeal! Healthy, sugarfree. dairyfree, nutfree and loaded with fiber, carbs and protein. Well, chocolate is not used at all; in this case, it wouldn't be healthy obviously. It is cacao powder that makes it look and taste chocolately. And if you are not a fan of bananas, you can totally skip them.
