If you don't have a food processor, you can either use oat flour and just mix everything together well in a bowl. Alternatively, use a blender or a coffee grinder to grind your rolled oats into a fine texture, then mix everything together thoroughly with your hands in a bowl. Be sure to mash the banana well.
