- In a large bowl, add bananas and mash with a fork. Make sure it's 1/2 cup.

Notes
- Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Freeze: First flash freeze on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. After place in Ziploc plastic bag or airtight container, freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw on a counter for 15 minutes.
- *Rolled oats: I find quick oats absorb moisture better, therefore dough is less sticky. Rolled oats will work though.
