Ingredients for Banana Crumble

  • 4 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter

How to Make Banana Crumble

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly spray four ramekins with cooking spray.
  3. Peel and slice 4 ripe bananas and evenly distribute them among the prepared ramekins.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup rolled oats, ½ cup packed brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the bananas in each ramekin, gently pressing down lightly.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crumble is golden brown and the bananas are tender.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
