Use very ripe banana
Yellow bananas with brown dots can be more easily crushed and give more sweetness. Very hard green fruits do not match this mixing ratio.

Why this recipe works
Soft oat cookies instead of crispy cookies
The sweetness comes from the ripe banana. The pulp is weighed because individual bananas are very different in size. Eight small biscuits are baked in two batches with four pieces each. The given portion number means four snack portions with two biscuits each, not four breakfasts. A suitable coated, fine-mesh or smooth application prevents soft mass from falling due to large gaps in the rack.
