Ingredients
Scale
- 5 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar (for banana mix)
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup self-rising flour

- ½ cup sugar (for batter)
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch or similar baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine sliced bananas, 1 cup sugar, melted butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Stir gently and let sit to draw out juices.
- In another bowl, whisk together self-rising flour, milk, ½ cup sugar, and optional nutmeg until just combined.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared dish without stirring.
- Spoon banana mixture over the batter, distributing evenly without mixing.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, until golden-brown and bubbly. The center should spring back when touched.
