Ingredients
Brown Sugar – 1 cup (Coconut sugar for better color)
Old Fashioned Oats – 1 cup (Instant oats for softer texture)
Flour – 1/2 cup (Whole wheat for nutty flavor)
Cold Butter – 1/2 cup (Vegan butter if avoiding dairy)
Pecans (toasted) – 1/2 cup (Walnuts for earthier notes)
Butter – 2 tablespoons (Coconut oil as dairy-free)
Brown Sugar – 1/2 cup (Use light or dark variety)
Orange Juice – 1/4 cup (Lemon juice for citrus twist)
Cinnamon – 1 teaspoon (Nutmeg as warming alternative)
Salt – 1 teaspoon (Balances sweetness)
Bananas – 4 medium (Caramelizes better when ripe)
Instructions
In medium bowl, combine brown sugar, oats, flour, and cubed cold butter. Use hands or pastry cutter until crumbly. Fold in chopped pecans. Refrigerate while preparing filling.
Peel and slice bananas. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter (or coconut oil) in a skillet. Add sliced bananas, brown sugar, orange juice, cinnamon, and salt. Cook over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a baking dish.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread banana mixture into a cast iron skillet. Top with chilled crumble mixture. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
Notes
Use cast iron skillet for even baking. Double the recipe and store in the freezer for future use. Serve with vanilla ice cream for a creamy finish. Substitute ingredients based on dietary needs (e.g., coconut oil, whole wheat flour).
