Banana Berry Crumble

A great dessert, I love crumbles.  The banana in this is a nice change to the usual crumble.  Switch up the berries to give it a different flavour.  This time I used frozen blueberries.  Based on a recipe found in Todays Parent May 2008.

4 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced 1/2 in thick
2 cups mixed berries, any kind, fresh or frozen
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup rolled oats - not instant
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup shredded coconut (I left this out as I have a coconut hater in the house)


  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. Grease a 9 inch pie pan or round baking dish.
  3. In a bowl, toss together the bananas, berries and lemon juice until combined.  Add the granulated sugar and stir until well mixed.  Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  4. In another bowl, combine the oats, flour brown sugar, butter and coconut.  With a fork, mash everything together until it forms a crumbly mixture.  You actually might find it easier to mix this by hand, rubbing the ingredients with your fingers until it forms clumpy soft crumbs.  Sprinkle overtop the banana mixture in the dish.  Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until the fruit is bubbly and the topping is lightly browned.  Let cool slightly before serving with yogurt, cream or creme fraiche.
