Ingredients
Scale
For the filling:
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup dark rum (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the cobbler topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Optional: vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the filling: Melt butter in a skillet, add brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cook until bubbly, then add vanilla and rum. Add banana slices and cook briefly.
- Assemble the cobbler: Pour the banana mixture into the baking dish. In a separate bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, and melted butter. Pour over the bananas.
- Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Omit the rum if desired—vanilla alone still provides great flavor.
- Best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the full bananas foster effect.
