👨‍🍳 How to Make It (Step-by-step)

Step 1: Prep Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a small baking dish.
💡 Use a ceramic or glass dish for even heat and moist texture.

Step 2: Blend the Base
In a blender, combine banana, egg, Greek yogurt, and milk until smooth.
💡 Use a very ripe banana for extra sweetness and smooth texture.

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
Add rolled oats, vanilla extract, baking powder, and cinnamon to the blender. Blend again until fully mixed.
💡 Don’t over-blend — a few oat flakes add a lovely texture.

Step 4: Pour and Smooth
Pour the batter into your baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
💡 Tap the dish gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.

Step 5: Top It Up
Scatter sliced strawberries, coconut flakes, almonds, and cranberries on top.
💡 Press the toppings lightly into the batter to prevent burning.

Step 6: Bake to Golden
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
💡 Cover with foil for the last 10 minutes if browning too quickly.

Step 7: Cool Slightly
Remove from oven and let it cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
💡 Cooling helps it set and slice neatly without crumbling.

Step 8: Slice and Serve
Cut into 6 portions and serve warm or cold — both ways are delicious.
💡 Drizzle with honey or Greek yoghurt for an extra treat.

Step 9: Store Smartly
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
💡 Tastes even better the next day as flavours deepen!

Step 10: Enjoy Anytime
Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a pre/post-workout snack.
💡 Freeze slices individually and pop into the toaster for a quick bite!
