Be sure to use bananas that are way overripe. If yours aren’t quite there yet, one trick is to put bananas in the oven while it preheats and cook them until they’re black. We opted for quick oats because they won’t be chewy like rolled oats. We’ve used walnut oil in this recipe for the moisture and flavor boost roasted walnut oil provides a deeper nut flavor than walnuts alone.

- ½ cup plus 3 Tbsp quick-cooking oats, divided
- 6 oz (about 1½ cups) plus 1 Tbsp. white whole-wheat flour, divided
