Notes

  • Oil: I use a neutral oil, like canola or vegetable oil, in this recipe.
  • Mashed banana: You will need about 2 large or 3 medium bananas. I have tips about which bananas are best for this recipe above the recipe.
  • Oats: I have only used old-fashioned oats in this recipe. I haven't tested it with thick-cut or quick oats.
  • Topping: The topping is more like a crumble than a traditional streusel topping. There are photos of the topping above the recipe. 
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
