Steamed banana with oats and nuts is a healthy snack with a sweetish taste. The patties taste as good as it is, I love the top to be crunchy so shallow fried it.
You can skip this step. You can use an air-fryer too that would be a good choice.
Oats with nuts and steamed bananas will be more energetic and you will love it. If you do not like to add roasted peanuts, you can add 2 tbsp of peanut butter too. Dip it with some sauce or serve as it is.
