Ingredients
Scale
Banana Filling
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Additional 1/4 cup brown sugar (for batter sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to ensure the cobbler doesn’t stick during baking.
- Prepare Bananas: In a medium bowl, toss the sliced bananas with 1 cup brown sugar and cinnamon until the bananas are well-coated and start to caramelize slightly. Set aside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute the leavening and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, beat the melted unsalted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Make Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the batter tender.
- Assemble Cobbler: Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Layer the caramelized bananas on top, then carefully dollop and spread the remaining batter over the bananas to cover them.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is bubbly around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. For an indulgent finish, serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- For extra richness, substitute whole milk with half-and-half or add a splash of heavy cream to the batter.
- Use ripe, soft bananas for the best caramelized flavor and sweetness.
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the banana layer for added texture and nutty flavor.
- This cobbler is best served warm but can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
