Notes
Use very ripe bananas to naturally sweeten the recipe. Cocoa is optional and can be adjusted to taste. For a creamier texture the next morning, add a little more milk before serving. Cut the apple into small cubes so it mixes better with the oats. Keep the mixture well covered in the refrigerator overnight.
