For a richer flavor, toast the oats lightly before adding them to the mixture. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth. Substitute other nuts or seeds for the peanuts, such as almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds. For a vegan option, ensure your applesauce is plant-based.

Dec 22, 2023I reduced the amount of applesauce slightly as my bananas were very ripe and moist, and it worked perfectly.
