Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas, sliced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup all-purpose flour

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup shredded coconut (optional)

Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced bananas, lemon juice, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir gently to coat the bananas without mashing them. Let this sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

      Make the Crumble Topping: In another bowl, mix the rolled oats, flour, melted butter, chopped walnuts, salt, and shredded coconut (if using) until the mixture is crumbly and well combined.

        Assemble the Dish: In a greased 9x9-inch baking dish, place the banana mixture evenly. Sprinkle the crumble topping generously over the bananas, ensuring even coverage.

          Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the bananas are bubbly.

            Cool and Serve: Allow the banana crumble to cool for a few minutes before serving. Scoop warm portions onto plates and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat.

              Enjoy your Heavenly Banana Crumble, a delightful dessert that's sure to impress!
