Description
A simple and comforting 5-ingredient Southern banana cobbler with a crispy buttery crust and sweet gooey bananas, perfect for family gatherings and easy dessert cravings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium ripe bananas
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup whole milk
- Butter or nonstick spray, for greasing the baking dish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
- Peel and mash the ripe bananas in a mixing bowl with a fork until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
- Melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Pour it over the mashed bananas, then add the milk and stir to combine.
- Sprinkle the sugar and flour over the banana mixture. Stir gently with a whisk or fork until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the top is golden brown, the edges are bubbly, and the center is set.
- Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter, because too much stirring can make the cobbler tough.
- Use very ripe bananas for the sweetest flavor and softest texture.
- Melt the butter slowly and let it cool slightly before mixing.
- Let the cobbler cool for at least 10 minutes before serving so the filling can thicken.
- Tent with foil if the edges brown too quickly.
- Adjust baking time if using a different size baking dish.
