This irresistibly moist Banana Bread Cobbler combines a warm, spiced banana base with a buttery, golden brown streusel topping for the ultimate comforting dessert experience. Perfect for using up ripe bananas!

Ingredients

  • For the Banana Base:

  • 6 ripe medium bananas, mashed

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • For the Topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

  • 1/2 cup banana slices (for garnish, optional)

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 375F (190C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish (or an 8×8 if halving).
  • In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well until everything is fully combined.
  • Stir in the 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the banana mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  • For the topping, in a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 1 cup all-purpose flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until coarse crumbs form. You want some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
  • Evenly sprinkle the streusel topping over the banana mixture in the baking dish. If desired, arrange banana slices on top of the streusel.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the banana filling is bubbly around the edges. A toothpick inserted into the topping should come out with moist crumbs.
  • Remove from oven and let cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

    • Banana Wisdom: The riper your bananas, the better! Those spotty, almost black bananas are packed with natural sweetness and intense banana flavor, making your cobbler truly shine. Don’t be shy about letting them get really ripe on the counter.
    • Crumbly Topping Secret: When making the streusel, resist the urge to overmix! You want those lovely pea-sized pieces of cold butter to remain. They’ll melt as it bakes, creating pockets of incredible tenderness and crispiness in your golden brown topping.
    • Serving Suggestion: While this cobbler is absolutely divine on its own, a scoop of good quality vanilla bean ice cream melting into the warm, gooey banana goodness is truly a match made in heaven. Or, for a lighter touch, a dollop of freshly whipped cream works wonders too!
