Ingredients

  • 200gflour
  • 200gbutter
  • 1 tspflaked sea salt
  • 100gcrushed hobnobs
  • 200gsoft brown sugar
  • around 10ripe, chopped bananas
  • 300gcaramel or dulce de leche
  • to serveice cream and more caramel

To those of you who think bananas shouldn't be cooked, we ask you - where's your sense of adventure? Because really, there's nothing that crazy about bananas in cooked form, and having them in a crumble that vaguely resembles a banoffee pie is actually just a delicious way to eat a classic pud when apples aren't in season.

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Add the flour and butter to a deep bowl with the butter. Use the tips of your fingers to gently rub the butter into the flour until you have a mixture that resembles very fine breadcrumbs.
  • Mix in the hobnobs and sugar and rub again. Try to get some bits that are around the size of a peanut to get craggly crunchy bits when it cooks.
  • Toss the bananas into a deep roasting dish and top with caramel. Mix it all about, then scatter with the crumble.
  • Bake until golden and bubbling, roughly half an hour.
  • Eat with ice cream and more caramel.
