Ingredients

• 3 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)
• Whipped cream, for serving
• Fresh fruit, such as strawberries or cherries, for garnish

How to Make Banana Crumble Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.
4. Fold in the rolled oats and chopped nuts, if using, until evenly distributed.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Set aside.
6. In a small bowl, mix the remaining oats with a tablespoon of flour, and sprinkle this mixture over the top of the cake batter.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once cooled, serve slices of the cake topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor.
• Don’t overmix the batter; stir until just combined for a lighter texture.
• For a crunchier topping, consider adding a tablespoon of brown sugar to the oat mixture before sprinkling it on top.

Easy Variations

• Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor.
• Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm spice note.
• Incorporate chocolate chips or dried fruit like raisins for an extra treat.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
• A cup of coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon snack.
• Freshly sliced bananas or seasonal berries as a complementary side.
