# Instructions:
01 -
Mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, and butter with your hands until it gets crumbly. Fold in the pecans. Chill the mixture in the fridge while working on the filling.

In a 10-inch cast iron skillet over a low flame, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, stirring until it’s completely smooth (takes around 3 minutes). Carefully pour in the orange juice—it'll bubble! Add cinnamon and salt, cooking for about a minute until slightly syrupy.

Gently stir in the banana pieces until they’re all coated. Spread them evenly along with the sauce in the skillet.

Take the skillet off the burner. Scatter the topping evenly on the bananas. Pop the skillet in a 350°F oven and let it bake for 20 minutes until everything’s nice and golden on top.

Cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Pair with ice cream or whipped cream for the best experience.
