Chef tips
For a more even texture, you can pulse the oats for a few seconds before mixing. If the batter feels too wet because of a larger banana, add 1 or 2 extra tablespoons of oats.
Substitutions
You can use mild Oaxaca cheese or another mild shreddable cheese instead of mozzarella. Plain yogurt can be replaced with plain Greek yogurt in the same amount.
