Ingredients
  

For the Cobbler Base
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter adds richness and flavor; for a dairy-free option, substitute with plant-based butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour provides structure; use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend if needed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar sweetens the cobbler; swap for coconut sugar for a lower sweetness option
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder this leavening agent ensures a light and airy texture
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt enhances the overall flavor profile
  • 1 cup milk contributes moisture; feel free to use dairy-free milk like almond or oat
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract elevates the dish with a depth of flavor
  • 3 large ripe bananas, sliced the star ingredient that brings moisture and natural sweetness; ensure they are very ripe for the best flavor
For the Topping
  • 0.5 cup packed light brown sugar adds sweetness and caramel notes to the cobbler topping; choose light or dark based on preference
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon brings warmth and enhances the flavors beautifully
  • 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans provides a delightful crunch; can be omitted for allergies or personal preferences
  • 0.5 cup chocolate chips adds an indulgent chocolate twist; dark, milk, or dairy-free options can all work wonderfully

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it with melted unsalted butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Add in the milk and vanilla extract, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Pour the fluffy batter over the melted butter in the prepared baking dish without stirring.
  4. Carefully place the sliced ripe bananas evenly on top of the batter.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the packed light brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this topping over the batter and bananas. Optionally, add chopped walnuts or pecans and chocolate chips.
  6. Bake your Banana Bread Cobbler for 35-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
  7. Allow the cobbler to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
