This banana bread cobbler combines the comforting flavor of banana bread with the gooey, spoonable texture of a cobbler. With caramelized bananas and a buttery topping, it’s easy to make and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
- Add the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter to the bananas and stir until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts evenly over the top if using.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
- Let the cobbler rest for about 10 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best flavor.
- Add chocolate chips for a dessert twist.
- To make it dairy-free, substitute plant-based milk and butter.
- Use a gluten-free 1:1 flour blend for a gluten-free version.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
