Tips for Success
Use spotty bananas ⟶ Just like with banana bread, you want your bananas to be very ripe (but not completely brown) so you get lots of sweet banana flavor!
Let it cool ⟶ It will be pretty soft in the center still when you remove it from the oven, but it will firm up more as it cools. If you like your oats a little gooey though, let the pan cool for 5 minutes then dig in!
