- 1/4 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup flour
- 4 Tablespoons cold butter, cut into cubes
- 3/4 cup pecans, toasted
Filling
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup light or brown sugar

Instructions
- For the topping: Combine all the topping ingredients (except pecans) in a medium-size bowl. Work them together with your fingers until crumbly. Add toasted pecans and stir to mix. Refrigerate while making the filling.
- For the Filling: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 10-inch cast iron or oven-safe skillet over low heat. Add brown sugar, stirring until dissolved, about 3 minutes. Stir in cinnamon and salt. Add orange juice, cook until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Add banana chunks, toss gently to coat. Spread bananas and sauce in the pan. Remove from heat, sprinkle topping over bananas. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- You can customize this recipe by adding a sprinkle of nutmeg or a dash of vanilla extract to the filling for extra flavor.
- Try serving the Banana Crumble with a drizzle of caramel sauce for a decadent twist.
