A warm, comforting Southern dessert featuring ripe bananas under a buttery oat and pecan streusel topping. Easy to make and perfect with ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale

4 medium Ripe Bananas (with brown spots)
1 cup Granulated Sugar
1 cup Self-Rising Flour
1 cup Milk (or dairy-free alternative)
1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Old-Fashioned Oats
1/2 cup Chopped Pecans (optional)
1 teaspoon Banana Extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Slice or chunk bananas and arrange evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together self-rising flour, granulated sugar, and oats. Pour in milk (and banana extract if using) and stir until just combined.
  4. Pour batter evenly over bananas (do not stir). Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the batter.
  5. Dot the top with softened butter and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling. Cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For self-rising flour substitute: use 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1.5 tsp baking powder + 1/4 tsp salt.
  • Banana ripeness is crucial for the best flavor. Use very spotty bananas.
  • Omit pecans for a nut-free version.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
