A simple and delicious recipe for Banana Crumble Snack Cake.
When your bananas start to turn black what do you think of? Most people think of banana bread but now I have a new idea for you! Banana Crumble Snack Cake. It’s so yummy and I like it better than banana bread.
This was one of the first recipes I made from my friend Emily’s blog One Lovely Life. I know her from college and my campus job and didn’t realize what an amazing cook she was until after I graduated and came upon her blog. But I am so grateful for her influence. Her blog really inspired me to have a passion for cooking.
This recipe comes together quickly. Just mix up the ingredients in one bowl, add it to your pan then make the crumb topping. Both the cake and topping have oatmeal in it and I love that! It adds such a delicious texture and taste to this that makes it differ from banana bread and in a delicious way!
So next time you have ripe bananas you’ll know what to do!
Enjoy!
