Broiled Banana Crisp

A truly unique sweet treat that apple crisp lovers should really give a try! NOTE: this recipe is specifically created for individual ramekins/portions...Any attempt to make it into a 'one pan' dish may alter the recipe beyond the intended results...Alter this recipe at your own risk, LOL!

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 4
• Yields: 1 batch

Ingredients

• 4  bananas
• 1  tablespoon lemon juice
• 3  tablespoons brown sugar
• 3  tablespoons quick-cooking oats, UNcooked
• 2  tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1⁄4 teaspoon allspice
• 2  tablespoons butter or 2  tablespoons margarine

Directions

1. Peel bananas and drizzle with lemon juice; then cut in half lengthwise and then again across.
2. You should have a total of 16 quarters of banana.
3. Then distribute these banana quarters equally among 4 broil-and-serve dishes.
4. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, uncooked oats, flour and allspice -- NOTE: Allspice tastes like a combination of nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves, so you could probably substitute a mixture of those three if you're out of allspice or go with just cinnamon.
5. Cut butter into the mixture until it resembles crumbs and then spread the crumbs equally over all the bananas.
6. Turn on your broiler and place these dishes under the broiler, 5" from the heat source and broil 3 min; the idea is to brown it and warm it at the same time.
7. Watch carefully, don't burn it or yourself!
8. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
