Can I Make This Vegan?

Absolutely! Swap the egg for a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water, let sit 5 mins) and use maple syrup instead of honey. Works like a charm!

How Do I Know When It's Done?

The edges should pull away from the pan slightly, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (or with just a few moist crumbs).

Can I Use Steel-Cut Oats?

Not recommended - they're too chewy! Stick with rolled oats for the perfect texture. Instant oats work in a pinch but get mushier.

Yes, if you use certified gluten-free oats! Just check all your other ingredients too (some baking powders contain gluten). For more information on gluten-free baking, you can refer.

Why Did Mine Come Out Dry?

You probably overbaked it! Ovens vary - start checking at 20 minutes. Also make sure your banana was nice and ripe for maximum moisture.
