Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the sliced bananas, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla powder. Gently toss until the bananas are well coated and set aside to allow the mixture to macerate for about 10 minutes.
- Step 3: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, and baking powder until smooth and combined. Then stir in the melted butter until fully incorporated.
- Step 4: Pour the banana mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Then carefully spoon the batter over the top of the bananas without mixing them together.
- Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving warm. Enjoy your Southern Banana Cobbler!
Notes
- For optimal storage, keep any leftover Southern Banana Cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and be sure to let it cool completely before sealing.
- When reheating, gently warm individual servings in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or until just heated through, taking care not to overdo it to preserve the cobbler’s moist texture.
- Serve your Southern Banana Cobbler warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top for an extra indulgent treat!
- For best results, use ripe bananas with plenty of spots, as they’ll provide the sweetest flavor and perfect consistency when baked into your cobbler.
