Description

A delightful Southern Banana Cobbler featuring ripe bananas baked with a spiced cake-like topping, perfect for a comforting dessert or snack. This easy-to-make cobbler combines sweet bananas with warm cinnamon and a buttery crust, finished with optional whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 4 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg, beaten

Topping

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Bananas: In a medium bowl, toss the sliced ripe bananas with lemon juice to prevent browning and set aside.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon, ensuring an even mixture of dry ingredients.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the melted unsalted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and beaten egg into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to form the batter.
  5. Assemble Cobbler: Spread the banana slices evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  6. Add Batter: Pour the batter evenly over the bananas, spreading it out to cover the fruit completely.
  7. Add Topping: Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the batter for a sweet, caramelized crust.
  8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
  9. Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm bananas to ensure they hold their shape in the cobbler.
  • Lemon juice helps prevent the bananas from browning and adds a slight tanginess.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cobbler light and tender.
  • You can substitute milk with a non-dairy alternative for a dairy-free option.
  • Serving with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream enhances the dessert but is optional.
