Ingredients

Topping:

1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter (grass-fed, unsalted, cold and cubed. Can sub coconut oil if dairy free)
1 cup oats (organic, rolled, old fashioned)
1/2 cup pecans (slightly chopped)

Filling

6 bananas (ripe, sliced)
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2
Make the crumble: In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, brown monk fruit, cinnamon, and salt. Add in the cubed butter and cut it into the mixture using a fork or pastry cutter until fine crumbs form. Stir in oats and pecans, then refrigerate while you prep the filling.
3
Caramelize the bananas: In an oven-safe deep skillet over medium heat, add maple syrup, bananas, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and orange juice. Stir well and cook over medium heat for about 6 minutes, allowing the bananas to soften and caramelize.
4
Top and bake: Remove from heat and evenly spread the crumble mixture over the banana filling. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, until golden and crisp on top.
5
Rest and serve: Let it cool for 5–10 minutes to thicken and set before serving. Enjoy warm with ice cream or yogurt!

Keywords: This healthy banana crumble is warm, gooey, caramelized banana perfection. Think bananas foster vibes baked under a golden oat crumble. The bananas simmer in a maple cinnamon sauce until soft and caramelized, then the buttery crumble topping bakes crisp and cozy. It is hard to believe something this delicious can also be gluten free and refined sugar free.
