Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
Peel and slice the bananas into 1/4-inch rounds. Set them aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon to the melted butter, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and begins to caramelize slightly. Remove from heat and fold in the sliced bananas, ensuring they are evenly coated in the caramel mixture.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the milk while stirring until a smooth batter forms. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Place the remaining 1/2 cup of butter in the baking dish and put it in the oven until the butter melts completely, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the baking dish carefully from the oven.
Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir or mix the batter with the butter.
Gently spoon the caramelized banana mixture over the batter. Again, do not stir; the layers will form naturally as it bakes.
Sprinkle the top with a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg for added flavor and aroma.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is bubbling around the edges.
Allow the cobbler to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
