Ingredients
- Filling:
- 5 to 6 ripe bananas
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1–2 tbsp lemon juice
- Cobbler Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- Garnish:
- Fresh banana slices
- Whipped cream
- Caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
- Peel and slice bananas into ½-inch coins. Toss with brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, melted butter, and lemon juice. Set aside.
- Pour the ½ cup melted butter into a 9×9-inch baking dish to coat the bottom.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk to form a smooth batter.
- Pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish — do not stir.
- Spoon the banana mixture evenly over the batter. Again, do not stir.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until golden brown and the center is set.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Top with banana slices, whipped cream, and caramel sauce if desired.
Notes
- Don’t stir the batter and butter — this creates the signature cobbler crust.
- Use bananas that are ripe but not overly soft for best texture.
- Add nuts or chocolate chips to the banana filling for variation.
- Top with vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
- Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4–5 days.
