Let’s break down the preparation process into simple steps:
1. Soak the oatmeal
Place the oatmeal in a bowl and add the warm milk to start. Let it soak for 10 minutes so that the oatmeal becomes soft.
2. Prepare the bananas
Peel the bananas and mash them with a fork while the rice is soaking. This will make the dessert naturally sweet and moist.
3. Mix the dry parts
Put the chocolate and baking powder in another bowl and mix them together. Make sure to mix well so that the cocoa flavor is distributed evenly.
4. Prepare the eggs
In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined. The treat will taste lighter because the eggs will be mixed with air.
Mixing the ingredients
After you have prepared all the pieces, it is time to put them together:
1. Combine bananas and oatmeal
Mix the mashed bananas with the soaked rice. Mix them together until well combined.

2. Add the cocoa mixture
Then add the cocoa and baking powder mixture to the oatmeal and banana mixture. Mix everything together until everything is evenly combined.
3. Add eggs to the recipe
Slowly add the beaten eggs to the oat mixture. Be careful not to overmix the ingredients, as this can cause the treat to thicken by deflating the eggs.
Making the dessert
It’s time to put it in the oven once the dough is ready:
Prepare the baking dish
To prevent the treat from sticking, grease a baking dish with oil. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and pour the dough into it.
Add the nuts
Place the chopped nuts on the dough. This will give the dessert a crunchy texture and a nutty taste.
How to cook
Place the baking dish in an oven preheated to 180°C. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the dessert is cooked through and the top is golden brown.

Melting Chocolate
It’s best to use a double boiler or break the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt them until smooth and shiny.
Add a drizzle of chocolate

baked dessert. Wait until the chocolate is hard to serve it.
Take out the dessert
Cut the treat into pieces and serve once the chocolate topping has set:
