Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 pieces ripe bananas
- 3 pieces eggs
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch (or similarly sized) casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Peel and slice the bananas into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Arrange half of the banana slices in an even layer at the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
Pour half of the egg mixture over the bananas, ensuring they are well-coated.
Repeat with another layer of banana slices and pour the remaining egg mixture evenly over the top. Set aside while preparing the topping.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, light brown sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the oat-flour mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set (a knife inserted into the center should come out mostly clean).
Allow the casserole to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving warm. Serve on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence!
