Ingredients
Scale
Banana Mixture
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cobbler.
- Melt Butter: Melt the unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat, ensuring it doesn’t brown or burn.
- Create Sauce: Stir in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon into the melted butter until the mixture is well combined and slightly bubbly.
- Cook Bananas: Add the sliced bananas to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the bananas to caramelize slightly and absorb the spiced sauce.
- Prepare Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the milk while stirring until a smooth batter forms.
- Assemble Cobbler: Pour the banana mixture along with the sauce into a baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Top Batter: Drop spoonfuls of the prepared batter evenly over the banana mixture, covering as much as possible but allowing some bananas to peek through.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas for the best texture and flavor.
- The batter is dropped over the banana mixture to create a traditional cobbler topping with crisp edges and a soft center.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
- Storage: Keep leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, reheat before serving.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
