Ingredients
- 6 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Optional: 1/4 cup chopped pecans for topping
If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a pinch of nutmeg for an extra layer of warmth, reminiscent of those cool North Carolina evenings at home.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.
- Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish. Do not stir.
- Layer the sliced bananas evenly over the butter.
- Pour the batter over the bananas, ensuring they are well covered. Remember not to mix; let the magic happen in the oven.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans on top if desired.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the cobbler is golden brown and bubbling. The sweet, caramelized aroma should remind you of a warm, cozy kitchen, just like my abuela’s.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
