Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your ripe bananas fresh by storing them in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. This will help maintain their sweetness and flavor for your brownies.
- 2. Store your oats in an airtight container to prevent them from going stale. You can also add a few bay leaves to the container to naturally repel any pantry pests.
