Ingredients
- Bananas Foster Filling:
- 5–6 ripe bananas, sliced into thick rounds
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 2–3 tablespoons dark or spiced rum or 1 teaspoon rum extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Cobbler Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup (1 stick) melted butter
- Optional: 1 teaspoon cinnamon (in batter or sprinkled on top)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbly.
- Add heavy cream and vanilla extract, then stir in the rum or rum extract. Cook for 1 more minute.
- Fold in the banana slices gently to coat in sauce. Do not overcook.
- Transfer banana mixture to prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk until smooth, then mix in melted butter.
- Pour the batter evenly over the bananas without stirring.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes until the topping is golden and filling is bubbling.
- Let cool slightly and serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Use bananas that are ripe but still firm to avoid mushiness.
- For a non-alcoholic version, use rum extract or omit completely.
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the topping for crunch.
- Sprinkle mini chocolate chips for a fun chocolate twist.
- Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat gently before serving.
