Banana Cobbler Ingredients

  • 4 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking and a golden finish on your cobbler.
  2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and help with easy removal of the cobbler.
  3. Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the milk and melted butter while stirring to form a smooth batter.
  4. Add the Bananas: Gently fold the sliced ripe bananas into the batter, distributing the fruit evenly throughout the mixture for bursts of banana flavor in every bite.
  5. Pour and Bake: Transfer the batter with the banana slices into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for approximately 10 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to meld. Serve warm, optionally with toppings like ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of bourbon or rum to the batter.
  • You can substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free variation.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to enhance the dessert experience.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat before serving.
