Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth with a few lumps for texture.
  3. Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix gently.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, folding until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 28-35 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
