Ingredients
Scale
Fruit and Topping
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Caramelize Bananas: In a medium bowl, toss the sliced bananas with brown sugar and cinnamon until all pieces are well coated, enhancing the sweetness and adding a warm spice flavor.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt thoroughly to combine and aerate the flour mixture.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the melted butter with milk until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen the cobbler.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, creating a base. Layer the caramelized bananas evenly over the batter, then spoon the remaining batter on top to cover the banana layer.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is bubbly around the edges.
- Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a luscious dessert experience.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the cobbler tender.
- For an extra kick, you can drizzle a little rum over the bananas before baking, but this is optional.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator and reheated gently before serving.
- Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream to complement the warm, caramel flavors.
