Ingredients
  

For the cobbler filling
  • 4-5 pieces Ripe Bananas Sweet, speckled bananas for a luscious filling.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar To balance the sweetness.
  • 1 cup Milk Adds moisture for the cobbler texture.
For the cobbler crust
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour For a perfect cobbler crust.
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder Helps the cobbler rise.
  • 1/4 tsp Salt Enhances the flavors.
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon For warm spice flavor.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract A must-have for desserts.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, melted Adds richness to the crust.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and slice the bananas, then place them in a buttered 9x13 baking dish.
  3. In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk until well blended.
  4. Add milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients, mixing to create a smooth batter.
  5. Gently pour the batter over the sliced bananas—don’t worry if it appears uneven.
Baking
  1. Place in the oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Serving
  1. Let it cool slightly before serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for the best sweetness. Allow the cobbler to cool slightly for easier serving. Experiment with add-ins like nuts or chocolate chips for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
