The preparation step by step
Prepare the plate
Preheat the oven to 180 °C, conventional oven setting (no fan). Cover a baking sheet and prepare a fork, a salad bowl and two spoons.
Weighing the banana
Peel the bananas and then weigh 200 g of flesh. An unripe banana is less easy to crush; choose a yellow skin with some brown spots.
Crush without large pieces
Crush the flesh with a fork for 1-2 minutes. Scrape the bottom of the bowl and continue until a purée is still slightly textured, without large cubes.
Add the flakes
Pour 120 g of small oatmeal into the puree. Spoon until all flakes are wet.
Let absorb
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes at room temperature. Flakes absorb part of the juice and the mixture becomes easier to shape; it remains flexible.
Divided into twelve
Place twelve regular piles on the plate with two spoons, 2 cm away. Aim for about 26 g per pallet so cooking is comparable.
Flattened before cooking
Flatten each pile to about 8 mm and 5 cm in diameter with the back of a spoon. These pallets spread little in the oven: give them their final shape now.
Cook
Bake 15 to 18 minutes. The edges should be golden and the underside should stand. The center remains flexible; prolonging it until hard would dry it out.
Let cool
Wait 5 minutes on the plate and then put the pallets on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Do not stack them hot, as their humidity would cause them to stick.
Preserved in the refrigerator
Once completely cold, place them in a box in the refrigerator. Serve them with a snack or yogurt as desired, taking into account the additional ingredients added to the service.
Conservation. Keep these wet pallets in the refrigerator in a closed box for 48 hours. They do not keep like dry cookies in a box at room temperature.

The benchmarks for success
Regular portions
Weigh the portions indicated in the steps: similar pieces take and keep more regularly.
Check the socket
Respect the cooling time and then gently lifts a room with a spatula. If it deforms, prolong the cold by 15 minutes before service.
Questions Before You Start
Are they crispy?
No: the banana gives a soft center. This recipe makes mellow pucks, not shortbread.
Are they gluten free?
Oats can be contaminated with gluten. Do not claim it without explicitly adapted flakes and without control of contamination in the kitchen.
Can I add chocolate?
Yes, 30 g of nuggets can be mixed after flakes. It is then a variant, with the ingredients and allergens indicated on the chocolate.
Baking tips for this recipe
- Work the dough just enough to combine the ingredients after adding flour; avoid prolonged kneading.
- Respect the temperature of the butter and the indicated rest. If a cutting paste becomes sticky, cool it before shaping.
- Keep a regular thickness between pieces of the same batch and monitors the edges at the end of cooking. Let cool before garnishing.
Substitutions and variations
To replace a main ingredient, choose another sheet designed with the one you want to use. Changing the proportions of fat, sugar or liquid can change the hold of the dessert.
