Description
A warm, gooey twist on classic banana bread — this cobbler combines buttery golden edges with a soft, banana-rich center for a comforting dessert or indulgent brunch dish.
Ingredients
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ cup brown sugar, packed light
½ cup chocolate chips
½ cup walnuts or pecans, chopped
½ tsp salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1½ cups milk
113 g (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
- Stir in the mashed bananas, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish and smooth out the top.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is set but still gooey.
- Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving warm. Optional: serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
Swap chocolate chips with white chocolate or butterscotch chips for variation.
For a tangy note, stir in a few tablespoons of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
To make it gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat in microwave or oven depending on desired texture.
