Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Mash Bananas: In a large bowl, thoroughly mash the ripe bananas until smooth, which will provide natural sweetness and moisture.
Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the almond milk, eggs, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt to the mashed bananas. Mix everything well until the mixture is homogeneous.
Add Oats: Stir in the rolled oats carefully, making sure they are fully incorporated into the wet mixture for even texture.
Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the combined batter into the greased baking dish and spread it evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Slice: Remove the bake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing into squares to hold shape.
Serve or Store: Enjoy warm immediately or refrigerate for later consumption.

For added texture, nuts or seeds can be mixed in before baking or sprinkled on top.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
