Ingredients
Scale
Banana Filling
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to ensure easy removal and even baking.
- Mix Bananas: In a bowl, toss the sliced bananas with brown sugar and cinnamon until they are well-coated and caramelized flavors begin to develop.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure they are evenly combined for a consistent batter texture.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the melted butter, sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully blended.
- Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen the batter.
- Assemble Cobbler: Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, layer the caramelized bananas on top, and then pour the remaining batter over the bananas to cover them evenly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the cobbler is golden brown on top and bubbly around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. It pairs beautifully with whipped cream or ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for optimal sweetness and flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the cobbler tender.
- For extra richness, serve warm with vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream.
- You can substitute whole milk with buttermilk for a tangier flavor.
- Adjust cinnamon quantity based on your spice preference.
