Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • Pinch of salt
  • Vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter.
  2. Slice the ripe bananas and toss them in a mixing bowl with melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Stir until evenly coated.
  3. In another bowl, combine flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add softened butter and mix with a fork or pastry cutter until crumbly.
  4. Spread the banana mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the bananas, covering them completely.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
  7. Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for better flavor and texture. Customize the crumble with nuts, shredded coconut, or spices like nutmeg or cardamom. For extra crunch, broil the crumble for 1-2 minutes after baking.
