Ingredients

4 ripe bananas, sliced

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
Slice bananas and layer them evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over bananas.
In a bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract.
Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir until just mixed. Spoon batter over the banana layer—it’s okay if it doesn’t cover all the bananas.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean.
Let cool slightly. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for crunch.

Use browned butter for a richer, nutty flavor.

Stir in shredded coconut or mix in berries for a tropical or fruity twist.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat as needed.

Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
