Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

2 cups Ripe Bananas mashed
1 cup Rolled Oats cooked
1/2 cup Unsweetened Applesauce
1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon

Equipment

Medium Mixing Bowl
Small Saucepan

Method

In a medium mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until they are mostly smooth with a few small lumps remaining. Allow about 5 minutes for this step.
2 cups Ripe Bananas
In a small saucepan, combine rolled oats with 1 cup of water and heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the oats have absorbed the water and are cooked through. This will take approximately 5-7 minutes. The oats should be soft and slightly thick.
1 cup Rolled Oats
Add the cooked, slightly cooled oats to the mashed bananas. Stir in the unsweetened applesauce and chia seeds. Mix everything together until well combined.
2 cups Ripe Bananas, 1 cup Rolled Oats, 1/2 cup Unsweetened Applesauce, 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
Sprinkle in the cinnamon and stir gently to distribute it evenly throughout the mixture.
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
For a firmer texture, cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the chia seeds to expand slightly.
