Equipment
- 8x8 inch (or similar size) baking dish
- Mixing Bowl
- Fork or pastry blender (for crumble topping)
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- For the Banana Filling:
- 4-5 ripe bananas sliced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar adjust to sweetness of bananas
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice optional, to prevent browning and add a touch of brightness
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
- For the Crumble Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats optional, for extra texture
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
- 1/2 cup 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).1
- Prepare the Banana Filling: In your baking dish, arrange the sliced bananas in a single layer. Sprinkle with brown sugar, lemon juice (if using), and cinnamon (if using). Gently toss to combine.
- Make the Crumble Topping: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats (if using), granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon (if using). Add the cold, cubed butter. Use a fork or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You can also use your fingertips to rub the butter in.
- Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the banana mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the banana filling is bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Let the banana crumble cool slightly before serving. It's best served warm, with ice cream, whipped cream, or custard, if desired.
