Ingredients
Scale
- 5 ripe medium bananas, sliced about 1/2-inch thick
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch or 9-inch round baking dish.
- In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced bananas, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread the banana mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- In another medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt for the topping.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry topping ingredients. Using your fingertips, a pastry blender, or a fork, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
- Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the banana filling in the baking dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the banana filling is bubbly around the edges. If the topping browns too quickly, you can lightly tent it with aluminum foil.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly.
- Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of fresh whipped cream, or a drizzle of custard for an extra special treat.
Notes
For an added crunch, sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans into the oat topping mixture. If you prefer a less sweet crumble, reduce the sugar in the topping by 1/4 cup. This crumble can be made ahead; simply assemble and bake just before serving. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
