Ingredients

• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) brown sugar
• 0.5 Cups water
• 10 Whole bananas, peeled
• 2 Cups whole wheat flour
• 2 Cups toasted wheat germ
• 3 Cups rolled oats
• 1 Cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 Cup light margarine
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) cinnamon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of brown sugar over the bottom of a small saucepan or skillet. Cook over medium heat until melted. Stir in water until sugar is completely dissolved. Heat to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface. Pour the syrup into a round baking dish or deep dish pie plate and spread to coat the bottom.
3. Make a layer of bananas on top of the melted sugar. In a medium bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, wheat germ, oats, and 1 cup of brown sugar. Mix in the margarine using your hands, pinching it into small pieces to make a crumbly dough. Sprinkle half of this over the bananas in the dish and pat down. Top with the remaining bananas and sprinkle with about half of the cinnamon. Spread the rest of the dough over the bananas and pat the pie smooth. Sprinkle remaining cinnamon over the top.
4. Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until the pie topping is toasted and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Enjoy this wholesome and delicious pie as a dessert or a snack!
