Notes

Recipe Notes:

For best results, use rolled oats rather than quick or steel-cut oats.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat with a splash of milk.
This recipe is easily customizable - swap the banana for applesauce or omit completely, try different spices, or change the toppings based on what you have available.
