A warm, comforting Southern dessert featuring sweet bananas, a buttery streusel topping, and a soft, cake-like filling. Perfect served with ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup self-rising flour
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup uncooked old-fashioned oats
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup sugar

  • 2 teaspoons banana extract (optional)
  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 2-quart or 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Make the streusel: In a bowl, use a fork to combine brown sugar, flour, and softened butter until crumbly. Stir in oats and pecans. Set aside.

  4. Layer sliced bananas evenly over the batter.
  5. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the banana layer.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
  7. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and extra banana slices.

Notes

  • If you prefer a stronger banana flavor, add the optional banana extract.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
