Part 3/7:
The special twist in my recipe comes from a surprising ingredient: rolled oats. These oats absorb moisture and keep the bread unbelievably soft. Think of it as a familiar technique used in meatballs with breadcrumbs—only in this case, they make your banana bread delightfully moist without being visible once baked.
Preparing the Wet Mixture
Now that we've combined the dry ingredients, it’s time to focus on the wet ones. The key fruit here is overripe bananas, which lend sweetness and flavor to the bread. If you ever find yourself with a surplus of bananas, freeze them! They'll be perfect for future baking.
