Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch pan with the canola oil and line it with parchment.
  2. Make the crumble first: in a small bowl, combine 40 g of the brown sugar (about a quarter), the oats, the walnuts, and one quarter of the cinnamon. Rub in the cold cubed butter (40 g of the butter) with your fingertips until clumpy. Refrigerate while you make the batter.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and the remaining three quarters of the cinnamon.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk the mashed banana, the remaining 140 g of the brown sugar, the melted butter (the remaining 100 g), the eggs, the yogurt and the vanilla until smooth.
  5. Fold the flour mixture into the banana mixture just until no dry streaks remain; do not overmix.
  6. Spread the batter in the pan and scatter the chilled crumble evenly over the top.
  7. Bake 40 to 45 minutes, until the crumble is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack for at least 45 minutes, then lift out and cut into 12 slices.
