Introduction:
Craving something sweet but don’t want to load up on sugar? This No-Sugar Banana Cocoa Oatmeal Dessert is the perfect treat! Made with ripe bananas, cocoa powder, and eggs, this dessert is naturally sweetened and incredibly healthy. Bananas provide the sweetness and richness, while cocoa gives it a deep chocolatey flavor.

Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- 25g cocoa powder
- 5g baking powder (optional, for a fluffier texture)
- Banana slices or nuts for decoration (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Bananas:
Peel the ripe bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl. Mash the bananas thoroughly with a fork until smooth. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful they will be!
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
Crack the eggs into the same bowl with the mashed bananas and whisk them together until fully combined.
3. Add the Cocoa Powder:
Add the cocoa powder to the banana and egg mixture. Stir it until the cocoa is completely incorporated, forming a rich, chocolatey batter.
4. Optional: Add Baking Powder:
If you’d like a slightly fluffier texture, you can add the baking powder at this point. Mix it well into the batter.
5. Pour and Bake:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper. Pour the banana-cocoa mixture into the baking dish and spread it out evenly. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dessert has set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Decorate and Serve:
Once the dessert has cooled down slightly, decorate it with banana slices or chopped nuts if desired. Slice and serve while warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the naturally sweet flavor of bananas and cocoa!
