📜 History & Inspiration
Oat-based bakes trace back to traditional European porridge breads and rustic breakfast cakes, where oats were used as a hearty staple grain. Over time, modern health-focused cooking adapted oats into flour alternatives for gluten-free and high-fiber baking.
The combination of banana and kiwi brings together tropical flavors — bananas originating from Southeast Asia and kiwis from China (later popularized in New Zealand). This fusion creates a naturally sweet yet tangy flavor profile with global roots.
