Method

1. To make the banana base, peel and roughly chop ripe (or overripe) bananas into chunks, around half inch thick is fine.

2. Toss the banana, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, cornflour and water into a baking dish, mix thoroughly so the banana is well coated in the other ingredients and spread evenly across the dish. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, place the gluten free plain flour and oats (if you can't tolerate gluten free oats, switch for the same quantity of extra gluten free plain flour).

4. Cut the cold butter into cubes and add to the gluten free flour and oats along with brown sugar and cinnamon. Rub the butter into the dry ingredients until you get a breadcrumb consistency.

5. Scatter the crumble on top of the banana mix then place in an oven preheated to gas mark 6/200c for 20-25 mins until the top is nicely brown and crisp.

6. Serve immediately either on it's on or with a dollop of cream or ice cream.
