Ingredients
Scale
- 5 ripe bananas, sliced
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp ground allspice (optional)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for topping)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 8 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 1/4 cups gluten-free flour (or all-purpose flour)
- ¾ cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tsp vinegar)
- ½ cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
- ½ cup quick-cooking oats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (190°C). Butter a 9×11 baking dish or a 10-inch round skillet.
- In a bowl, toss sliced bananas with brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, cornstarch, and vanilla until evenly coated.
- In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in chopped walnuts and oats.
- Cut the cold butter into the dry mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in buttermilk and vanilla until just combined, creating a slightly sticky batter.
- Spoon the banana filling into the buttered pan, then drop the batter over the filling.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden and bubbling. Tent with foil if it browns too quickly.
- Cool for 10-15 minutes before serving warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
