Step-by-Step Instructions
When I start making this baked oatmeal, the first thing I do is preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking dish with butter. This step helps prevent sticking and gives the edges a slightly golden finish. Then I mash the bananas in a bowl until they’re smooth. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
