Banana Bread Cobbler
Prep Time: 10–15 min
Bake Time: 40–45 min
Serves: 6–8
Ingredients
Banana bread base:
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
Cobbler topping:
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup hot water
- 1 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- Make the batter:
In a bowl, mix mashed bananas, sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla.
Stir in flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until just combined. - Spread batter evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Add topping:
Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the batter.
Carefully pour hot water over the top (do not stir).
Dot with small butter pieces. - Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is set. A caramel-like sauce will form underneath.
- Cool slightly & serve warm.
Serving ideas
- Spoon into bowls and top with vanilla ice cream
- Add chopped walnuts or pecans
- Drizzle with caramel sauce or a little honey
If you want, I can give you a chocolate-chip version, a no-egg version, or one that uses leftover banana bread instead of batter.
