Ingredients

Scale

Banana Layer

  • 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
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Prepare Bananas: In a bowl, toss the sliced bananas with brown sugar and cinnamon until they are well coated, creating a sweet and spiced banana mixture.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the melted butter, granulated sugar, whole milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
  5. Form Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the cobbler dense.
  6. Layer Batter and Bananas: Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, then spread the banana mixture evenly over the top. Pour the remaining batter over the bananas to cover them completely.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cobbler turns golden brown and the batter is bubbly and cooked through.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert experience.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cobbler light and fluffy.
  • Vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor, don’t skip it.
  • Serve warm for the best texture and taste.
  • Can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated gently before serving.
