This banana crumble recipe is an amazing combination of textures you get from the warm, moist, creamy banana, the nuttiness from the brown butter and the cinnamon and nutmeg just adding that touch of love in there. To top it all off, the crumbly toasted oats mixed with the buttery dough… hands down this is one of the best things I have made. But don’t take my word for it… try it yourself and you will be amazed.
