Ingredients

Scale

Banana Mixture

  • 4 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Crumble Topping

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bananas: In a medium skillet, melt the 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until it dissolves into a smooth caramel sauce. Add the sliced bananas and cook gently for 2-3 minutes until they are coated and softened but not mushy.
  2. Assemble the crisp: Pour the cooked bananas and caramel sauce into a baking dish, spreading evenly. In a separate bowl, combine the oats, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and melted butter to form the oat crumble topping.
  3. Top and bake: Sprinkle the oat crumble evenly over the bananas. Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  4. Serve warm: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. This dessert pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the oat crumble.
  • Ensure bananas are ripe but firm to prevent them from turning mushy during cooking.
  • This dish can be made ahead and reheated before serving.
  • Use gluten-free oats to make this recipe gluten-free.
