- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, applesauce, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Stir in the rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. If you’re using nuts, raisins, or dried cranberries, fold them into the mixture.
- Pour the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle the top with fresh or frozen berries.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the oatmeal bake to cool for a few minutes before cutting it into squares. Serve warm.
Notes
- You can customize the bake with different add-ins like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or chocolate chips if desired.
- This bake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheats well in the microwave or oven.
- If you prefer a sweeter taste, feel free to drizzle a little honey or maple syrup on top after baking.
