Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375F.
Spray a small baking dish or casserole with cooking spray. I used an 8.5" x 11" 2.5qt casserole dish for this.
Add the overripe bananas to the bottom of a mixing bowl, and mash them with a fork.
Add the applesauce, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract, and stir to combine.
Add the milk. Whisk together.
Add the oats. Fold in.
In a small bowl, melt the butter, and then add the sugar and cinnamon. In another bowl, combine the cream cheese and milk.
Pour the oats mixture evenly into the baking dish.
Drizzle the melted butter and sugar mixture over the oats in a swirl pattern.
Add the cream cheese mixture to a sandwich bag and cut the end off to form a piping bag.
Pipe the cream cheese in a swirl on top of the oats. Using a knife or toothpick, swirl the two toppings together.
