Method
Put the oats, cocoa and vanilla in a large bowl and pour over 1 litre cold water. Cover the bowl and leave to soak overnight.
The next morning, tip the contents into a saucepan with the chopped banana. Cook over a medium heat for 5 mins, stirring frequently, until the oats are cooked.
Put half of the mixture in the fridge for the next day. Spoon the rest into two bowls, swirl in 1 pot yogurt and slice over a banana (save the other pot and banana for the next morning). Warm through with a splash of milk to reheat.
