Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Preheat your broiler to high and position the oven rack about 4-6 inches below the heat source.
Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise into halves. Arrange them cut side up on a broiler-safe baking dish or sheet pan.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.
Melt the butter in a microwave or on the stove, then stir it into the oat mixture. Add the vanilla extract and mix until the crumble resembles wet sand.
Spoon the oat crumble evenly over the bananas, pressing the mixture lightly to adhere it to the fruit.
Place the baking dish under the broiler and broil for 5-6 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn't burn.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
