Description
Warm caramelized bananas, a hint of rum, and a fluffy cobbler topping come together in this cozy Southern-inspired dessert.
Ingredients
For the Banana Filling:
4 ripe bananas, sliced
½ cup unsalted butter
¾ cup dark brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
2 tbsp dark rum (or substitute with juice)
For the Cobbler Topping:
1 cup self-rising flour
½ cup sugar (optional, for sweeter topping)
¾ cup milk or buttermilk
¼ tsp salt
2 tbsp melted butter (for drizzling, optional)
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
Make Banana Filling:
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Add rum and cook for 1 minute. Fold in bananas and coat them gently in the sauce.
Transfer to Dish:
Pour the banana mixture into the prepared dish and set aside.
Mix Cobbler Batter:
In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar (if using), milk, and salt until just combined. Drop spoonfuls over the banana mixture and spread gently.
Bake:
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling. Let cool 10–15 minutes before serving.
Serve:
Spoon into bowls and top with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or toasted pecans.
Notes
Add a splash of bourbon instead of rum for a deeper flavor, or try adding chocolate chips or chopped walnuts before baking for extra indulgence.
