Can I use regular oats for the base instead of rolled oats?

Yes, the recipe specifies that you can easily take normal oats and blend them until you get a fine flour to use for the base.

How can I adjust the banana flavor in the base?

The recipe suggests using 2-3 ripe medium bananas; use fewer if you prefer a less prominent banana taste, or more for a stronger flavor.

Will the chocolate mousse taste like avocado?

The recipe notes that using 1 1/2 ripe avocados will result in a creamy mousse, but if you prefer a stronger chocolate flavor and less avocado influence, you can use 1 ripe avocado instead.

How long do the layers need to set in the freezer?

The recipe instructs to transfer the baked base to the freezer to chill, then return the slices to the freezer after each subsequent layer (caramel and chocolate mousse) to set before cutting. The total setting time isn't specified but implies enough time for each layer to firm up.

Do these slices need to be thawed before eating?

Yes, the recipe advises allowing the slices to thaw for a few minutes at room temperature before eating to achieve the best texture.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Line a square brownie tin with parchment paper and place the mixture inside. Press down with a spatula or spoon until spread evenly.
Bake in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, then transfer to the freezer to chill.
In the meantime, place all ingredients for the caramel into a blender and mix until smooth.
Scoop the caramel on top of the base layer and spread evenly. Return to the freezer to set.
Once set, mix together all chocolate mousse ingredients in a blender and spread over the caramel layer. Return to freezer to set, and cut into equal slices.
