Ingredients
Scale
Banana Mixture
- 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
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Banana Mixture: In a bowl, toss the sliced bananas with brown sugar and cinnamon until they are well-coated and aromatic.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the melted butter, sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth, then gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
- Assemble Cobbler: Pour half of the batter into the greased baking dish, spread evenly, then layer the caramelized banana mixture on top, and pour the remaining batter over the bananas carefully.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the cobbler turns golden brown and is bubbly, indicating it is cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Enhance the experience by topping it with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best sweetness and flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay to ensure a tender texture.
- You can substitute whole milk with any milk of your choice, though it will affect the richness.
- For a more intense caramel flavor, consider lightly sautéing the bananas with brown sugar and butter before layering.
- This cobbler is best served warm but can be refrigerated and gently reheated.
