Ingredients

• 4 ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.75 cup rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2

To make the banana jam, mash the ripe bananas in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Cook the banana mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly and forms a jam-like consistency. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, prepare the streusel topping by combining the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and a pinch of salt.

Step 6

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Spread the banana jam evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 8

Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the banana jam to cover it completely.

Step 9

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
