Main Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for baking the cobbler evenly.
- Prepare Bananas: Slice the ripe bananas and layer them evenly in the bottom of a baking dish, creating the flavorful base for the cobbler.
- Mix Batter: In a bowl, whisk together sugar, melted butter, all-purpose flour, milk, baking powder, and vanilla extract until you have a smooth batter.
- Combine Layers: Pour the prepared batter mixture evenly over the layered bananas in the baking dish, covering them completely.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. This enhances the flavors and makes it easier to serve.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- You can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm spice twist.
- Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
