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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Banana Mixture: In a bowl, toss the sliced bananas with brown sugar and cinnamon until they are well-coated and aromatic.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
