Directions
Step 1
Peel the ripe bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Mash the bananas thoroughly with a fork until smooth and creamy.

Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the bowl. Whisk until well combined.

In a blender or food processor, pulse the rolled oats until they turn into a fine oat flour.
