I'm allergic to bananas; do you think it would be ok doing recipe as is minus bananas, or should I substitute additional apple sauce? Thanks!
M, I think it should be fine with more applesauce. Maybe you could even try using a little yogurt? Let us know what works best for you 🙂
Thanks… I'll let you know!
Does this use 4 cups cooked or uncooked oatmeal? I used uncooked but it was a bit hard and dry.
Sky, Thank you for stopping by. Yes the oats are not cooked before. The recipe is a baked oatmeal and tends to be drier than a muffin texture. To add more moisture, you can add an extra mashed banana and possibly try cooking for 18 – 20 minutes. Thanks for being a fan!
