Ingredients

Scale

Banana Cobbler Ingredients

  • 4 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure the cobbler bakes evenly and develops a beautiful golden crust.
  2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent the cobbler from sticking during baking.
  3. Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the milk and melted butter, stirring until the batter is smooth and well blended.
  4. Add the Bananas: Gently fold the sliced bananas into the batter to distribute the fruit evenly without breaking them down too much.
  5. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter mixture into the prepared baking dish. Place it in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes after baking to allow the flavors to meld. Serve warm, optionally with whipped cream or ice cream for an extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for the best sweetness and flavor.
  • For a richer taste, substitute milk with buttermilk or add a splash of bourbon.
  • To enhance the texture, sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts on top before baking.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic Southern experience.
