Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup light or dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup flour
- 4 tablespoons cold butter, cut into cubes
- 3/4 cup pecans, toasted
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup light or dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 6 medium bananas, cut into 1-inch chunks
- To Serve: Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 10-inch cast-iron or oven-safe skillet.
- In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, oats, flour, and cold cubed butter. Use your fingers to blend until crumbly, then stir in toasted pecans. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- In the skillet over low heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in brown sugar and cook for about 3 minutes until dissolved and glossy. Add cinnamon and salt, then carefully pour in orange juice. Cook about 1 minute until the sauce slightly thickens.
- Add banana chunks to the skillet and toss gently to coat with the sauce. Spread evenly across the skillet.
- Sprinkle the chilled topping evenly over the bananas.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from oven and cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
