Mushysqushy Bananas (Recipe: Baked Banana Crumble)

Oven Baked Banana Crumble Dessert Recipe


Trying to decode the magic formula for the number of bananas to buy has always been a mystery for me. When I bring bananas home from the store, one of two things will happen:

  1. The bananas are gobbled up, that very day, and we are out of bananas for the rest of the week
  2. The bananas sit, untouched, for a week in which they then turn bad

There is no happy medium for banana eating at our house. It is always either all of nothing. Luckily, someone out there invented lovely desserts to create when the bananas are no longer pretty and as my four year old says “Ewwww – it’s all mushysqushy”. When bananas get “mushysqushy” there are plenty of desserts to turn an old, ripe banana into something delicious. Banana Bars, Banana Bread, Banana Ice Cream (from Kitchen Parade)…or get this brilliant stroke of genius…Banana Bread Ice Cream (by Guilty Kitchen).

A couple of weeks ago I had the “mushysqushy” banana dilemma and some cute little new ramekins from Pier 1 Imports, so I thought… how about a banana crumble? If you have the “mushysqushy” banana issue and are tired of breads, cakes, cookies and muffins, I can highly recommend this delicious Baked Banana Crumble recipe. It tastes like a warm banana pie. And, the next time your kids reach for a fresh from the store banana, you’ll stop them immediately… you’ll want your bananas to get “mushysqushy” so you can make this delicious banana dessert recipe again!

Truth is, you don’t want your bananas for this recipe to be incredibly “mushysqushy”… just a tad bit “mushysqushy”. On the very early side of “mushysqushy”. Got it?

Individual Oven Baked Banana Crumble Dessert

4 ripe, “kind of mushysqushy” bananas, peeled
3/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla paste or 1 Tablespoon vanilla
1 cup flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold butter, in 6 pieces

Combine orange juice and vanilla; reserve. Slice bananas lengthwise and place cut side up in four buttered baking dishes. Combine flour, oatmeal, brown sugar, nutmeg and salt. Add butter. Using a pastry blender or two knives, blend until mixture resembles small peas. Drizzle bananas with orange juice. Spoon crumble mixture over fruit. Bake at 375 degrees F for 15-20 minutes.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

    I have major banana issues because we’re a household of 2! I can’t buy just enough bananas for the 2 of us, so I always have mushysqushy bananas hangin’ around! Thanks for sharing this 🙂

    I love, love banana desserts! Seriously, I can rarely get enough. This looks fabulous!

    What a great idea! We have exactly that same problem with bananas in our house. And I don’t eat them when they’ve lost that last bit of green. I like them a little tart.. so it really shortens the banana eating availability in our house.

    September 17, 2010 at 8:08 am

    What a great recipe!! We love bananas in our house and are always looking for good recipes 🙂

    It was so great to meet you!!! I hope to see you again soon 🙂

    I can totally do this Kristen. This is my kind of dessert. And I LOVE those ramekins. Haven’t been to Pier 1 in a long time and that’s prob a good thing.

    I would never think of putting bananas in a crumble. What a great idea!! Looks yummy!

    I’ve always got bananas hanging around… same problem though, some weeks they disappear (usually when I want them to get mushysqusy – love that!)… then when I want them eaten, I start looking for ideas on what I can make with them. This recipe looks like a perfect way to enjoy them. 🙂

  8. Barbara says

    September 17, 2010 at 10:57 am

    Yum! I love this dessert. It’s a year-round one too. I bet kids adore it. My grandmother always dumped some bananas in leftover pie crust scraps and baked them in little tarts. Delish.

  9. Joanne says

    September 17, 2010 at 11:17 am

    I am super picky about my bananas and only like them when they are JUST past green. A split second longer and I’m done with them. These look like the perfect solution to my problem! Even though I love banana bread, variety IS the spice of life!

    September 17, 2010 at 2:32 pm

    Kristen, we too have the same dilemma in our house! Love the idea of this dessert…sounds amazing. What is it with bananas anyway? I can never figure out how many to buy. Now I know what to do with them when not eaten 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend. xo

  12. Tracy says

    September 17, 2010 at 3:24 pm

    Oh my gosh, we have the same problem in our house! I’ll be keeping this recipe in mind the next time I see them beginning to languish on the counter. 🙂

    Thanks for sharing…

  15. Lori @ RecipeGirl says

    September 18, 2010 at 6:14 am

    Sounds wonderful 🙂 I have that same problem… I don’t really think about the bananas sitting in my fruit basket, until it’s too late to eat them. Do you freeze your mashed bananas? The mashed stuff freezes well- I just premeasure and bag it.

  16. bunkycooks says

    September 18, 2010 at 1:52 pm

    That’s a fun idea. I also have the squishy banana problem, so now I have another option for those icky bananas!

  17. Sues says

    September 19, 2010 at 12:10 pm

    I am TOTALLY the same way with bananas!! We either run out too soon or they get horribly bad. I TRY to buy a mix of ripe, almost ripe, and not at all ripe, but it never works 🙁 This? Looks fabulous!!

  18. Amy from She Wears Many Hats says

    September 20, 2010 at 4:46 am

    Yea for mushysqushy! And yum too!

  19. Souffle Bombay says

    September 20, 2010 at 4:55 am

    You are so right!!! There really is a system to deciding how many bananas to get, I completely relate! But as you said when we overbuy, or our family under eats our projected banana consumption for the week…that gives us the perfect opportunity for numerous banana delights including this one! Yum!!!!

  20. The Teacher Cooks says

    September 20, 2010 at 8:34 am

    This looks so good. I have never made a crumble with bananas, but why not? Bananas can be frozen whole and used in many ways. Just a note!

  21. naomi says

    September 20, 2010 at 12:16 pm

    Love this crumble idea. I always need banana recipes. Alot like your house, I have the same problem, so I can never gauge how much to buy.

  22. Tickled Red says

    September 21, 2010 at 2:23 am

    Haha, I love the name you gave your crisp. I’m not a huge banana fan but I may have to give this a try 🙂

  23. Cookbook Queen says

    What a fabulous recipe idea!! Love it!! 🙂

    This looks delicious and I love just about everything from Pier 1 Imports. I swear the cookies I make in my Pier 1 Imports bowl even tastes better. We don’t have any mushy bananas (yet) but I’m hankering for some now. Can’t wait to try this recipe. Thanks!

  25. Debbi Does Dinner Healthy says

    September 24, 2010 at 10:50 am

    This sounds awesome! I love bananas and I know what you mean, my kids are picky about their bananas, once they get to the mushysqushy stage, they are all mine. I can usually convince the really young ones to still eat them one day longer than the older ones will!

    I need to get myself some cute little ramekins!

  26. Living The Sweet Life says

    January 17, 2012 at 9:58 pm

    YUM!! I’ve never had banana crumble – – but I think it’s about time I change that. I LOVE bananas and I adore anything with a crumble topping – – what’s not to love 🙂

  27. KBrown says

    December 20, 2014 at 11:16 pm

    Bananas getting too ripe? I peel and wrap mine in foil or plastic, I’m not fussy, and stick them in the freezer. They’re perfect for a quick smoothie with a dose of frozen berries and some milk. My usual recipe is one frozen banana, one fresh, 1/4 cup or so of berries, 1 tsp vanilla and milk all blended according to my mood (thick or thin). A couple of variations include Malted Milk powder, almond flour and peanut butter.

    Freezing bananas is a great way to take advantage of the deals you can sometimes find at the market for singles that are at the end of their shelf life. Thawed, they get the the perfect level of mushy for use in banana bread.

New ink inspired by a quote in my friend @andiemmitchell amazing memoir “It Was Me All Along”. 

I tend to be an all or nothing person and look at long term and get overwhelmed instead of just taking things one day at a time. I’ve said her quote to myself multiple times a day for years. Now I’ll have a permanent reminder. 

The full quote: “Can you do it today? Can you make it through today without bingeing? Just today, and tomorrow we’ll reconsider?”

I need to go back and get a couple missed spots filled in but I love it. Thanks Rob at @irezumitattookc 🎉

Here’s a fun fact I heard on the radio several years ago…October 5th is the most popular day to be born (9 months prior is New Years Eve-ish). 🎉 

Happy birthday to all my many many birthday twins out there! It’s the big 4-8 for me…although this past year as a Covid long hauler I feel like I’ve aged 20 years in the past 1. But things are looking up! I’m excited for the next 365 days of my life. I’m blessed and so thankful to still be here, chugging along.

This picture is from last week when @kellykdoyle and I were visiting colleges in Colorado. If I have any followers with ties to @coloradostateuniversity or @cuboulder I’d love to chat!

I love being a parent of teens...but I miss the days of parenting kids who loved going to school, who didn't struggle with major anxiety, who loved their bodies, and were confident about how they looked. I miss pre-covid days where lunch wasn't distanced, kids had the opportunity to connect and socialize at school, where mask-wearing wasn't even a topic, let alone one that divides. 

The past 2 years have changed my kids. They have gained so many positive things, but they've also gained a new kind of anxiety that wasn't there before. And I hate it for them. They've seen first hand how long haul covid has changed our family. They've seen the selfishness of others in ways they haven't seen before. They've had to grow up faster, worry about things they shouldn't have to worry about, and learn the hard way how this world can really be. And it hurts my heart for them. 

I have a new senior, sophomore and 6th grader here at home. Missing my sophomore in college a ton. I hope the world is kind to them and they are kind to the world. I want nothing more than for them to be happy and to be surrounded by good people who love and accept them for who they are and who also push them to live a full, rich and happy life. I pray every day for them - and for your kids...and pray that we are all raising a generation of empathetic and kind changemakers.

I was a “houseplant lady” before the pandemic, but I think since the pandemic I get to add the word “crazy” to that title. So. Many. Plants. I’m not mad about it!

This weekend @kctinygreenhouse I picked up this beautiful Monstera Peru as well as a bag of Jeff’s Jungle Mix. You know when a new to you potting mix has you super excited, you’ve crossed the line into la la land 😂 Swipe to see how pretty it is!

Can’t believe we’re doing the college tour thing already with my second baby! 

So question for any of you who sent your kids to out of state schools or went to out of state schools...how did you do it? She wants to get the heck out of Kansas (I’d like to go with her!). We have money saved, she’ll most likely get a scholarship or two, she’s paying and has money saved as well...but even with that out of state tuition is a beast of an amount. So, did you just assume that student loans were going to be part of that life? And is that worth it to give your kids a shot at a new life outside of your home state? I wish I would have left Kansas for university, and have been here since I was born 😩. I want different for her if that’s what she wants but also just don’t have any experience with how people do out of state college! Any tips?

My friend @wakschmale makes the best strawberry jam...and I completely forgot about a jar she gave me last year until this morning. Which then inspired me to make my favorite buttermilk biscuits. So so good. Are you a jam, honey, just butter or plain biscuit fan? I love biscuits allll the ways, except with gravy. I have super bad memories of biscuits and gravy growing up. 🤢

I is for Inspiration!
.
The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!
