What do you do when you have lots of very ripe spotty bananas?

Well, first I made an unbelievably delicious breakfastโ€“banana and peanut butter porridge with caramelised bananas. But then what?

Of course, the obvious things spring to mind; banana bread, muffins, my favourite banana flapjacks. But then a fellow blogger suggested crumble, and I immediately remembered my favourite primary school pudding โ€” banana & jam crumble.

In fact, I think itโ€™s the only food I liked in primary school amongst the soggy veg and corned beef! I was a very fussy eater, disliked meat and traditional English food, so it was a difficult period in terms of food! I survived on peanuts and French Fancies for a few years; I think. Thank goodness I discovered my love of veggies!

But that banana & jam crumbleโ€“oh, I can almost still taste it. Warm, sweet, caramelised bananas, crunchy topping and I think the jam was strawberry or raspberry. Just heaven.

Never one to mess about, I tried to recreate said crumble with ingredients I had to hand. No jam unfortunately, but I had some raspberries, so in they went and they worked really wellโ€“slightly sharp against the deliciously sweet bananas. And the topping is so simple! Nuts, some oat bran (oats would also be great & use gluten-free if preferred), coconut, seeds and some coconut oil with a little maple syrup. The resultโ€“a gorgeously nutty, crunchy & wholesome topping.

I also made a quick raspberry compote to pop on top of the crumble for an extra tart & fruity topping, then served with some creamy coconut yogurt. Pure comfort pudding heaven.
