Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the butter in a 9x13 inch baking dish and put it in the oven to melt.

  4. Remove the baking dish from the oven once butter is melted. Pour the batter directly over the melted butter. DO NOT STIR.
  5. Spoon the banana mixture and any juices evenly over the batter. DO NOT STIR.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
  7. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving warm, topped with whipped cream or ice cream.
