Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Batter
Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a blender or food processor, puree the peeled bananas until smooth. This not only adds natural sweetness but also contributes to the moist texture of our treats.
Transfer the banana puree to a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs and milk, whisking until well combined. The eggs will provide structure to our dessert, while the milk adds moisture and helps bind the ingredients.
2. Incorporate Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the rolled oats, coconut flakes, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated and you have a smooth batter. The oats and coconut flakes not only add fiber and healthy fats but also create a delightful texture.
3. Bake the Base
Line a baking dish (approximately 9×9 inches or 23×23 cm) with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
Pour the batter into the prepared dish, using a spatula to spread it evenly. This ensures uniform baking and a consistent texture throughout.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
