Ingredients

Scale

Banana Mixture

  • 4 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  2. Coat the bananas: In a large bowl, toss the sliced bananas with brown sugar and cinnamon until the slices are well-coated with the sweet, spiced mixture.
  3. Make the batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, beating until smooth. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  4. Layer the cobbler: Pour half of the batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Spoon the banana mixture over the batter, then gently pour the remaining batter on top, covering the bananas.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly, indicating the cobbler is fully cooked.
  6. Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. For a traditional touch, serve warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cobbler light and tender.
  • Vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Serve warm for the best texture and taste.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
