💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Toast your oats in a dry pan for 3-4 minutes before mixing to develop nutty flavors through Maillard reactions and reduce excess moisture that can make baked oats soggy.technique3-4 minutes
- ✓Use bananas with 25-30% brown spots for optimal sweetness and binding power, as their higher sugar content (18-20%) caramelizes better during baking.ingredient25-30% brown spots
- ✓Let the oat mixture rest for 10-15 minutes before baking so oats absorb liquid and expand, creating a more cohesive texture that won't fall apart when sliced.timing10-15 minutes
- ✓Place apricot halves cut-side down for the first 15 minutes, then flip to cut-side up to prevent over-browning while allowing natural sugars to caramelize on the surface.technique15 minutes
