How can my kids help?
  • Have them add all the ingredients to the mixing bowls.
  • Teach them how much each amount is ( a secret math lesson ;)
  • Give them a fork and tell them to mash those bananas. They love this part!
Top Tip:  The only alternative I would swap out is rolled oats. Steel-cut oats will come out hard and have a not-so-good crunchy texture.
