Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Spray a 9 x 9 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Melt the butter directly in the dish using the microwave, ensuring it’s fully melted.

- Add Coconut Layer: Evenly sprinkle shredded or flaked coconut over the bananas to add texture and flavor.
- Prepare Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the quick-cooking oats, melted butter, ground cinnamon, self-rising flour, brown sugar, and chopped nuts. Mix thoroughly with a spoon until the mixture is well blended.
- Top the Cobbler: Sprinkle the oat and nut topping mixture evenly over the coconut layer in the baking dish.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is set.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for a comforting dessert.
