Ingredients
Scale
Banana Mixture
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cobbler Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the cobbler.
- Prepare Banana Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the brown sugar, stirring until the mixture is smooth and bubbling. Add the sliced bananas and vanilla extract, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until the bananas are coated and slightly softened.
- Mix Batter Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, mixing well to incorporate all dry ingredients evenly.
- Add Milk: Pour the milk into the dry ingredients and stir gently until a smooth batter forms without any lumps.
- Assemble Cobbler: Grease a baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray. Pour the batter evenly into the dish. Then, spoon the banana and brown sugar mixture evenly on top of the batter.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best sweetness and flavor.
- Butter can be substituted with a non-dairy alternative to make the recipe dairy-free.
- Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts on top before baking.
- Ensure the skillet is not too hot to avoid burning the brown sugar.
