Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Peel and slice 3-4 ripe bananas into a large bowl. Gently mash them with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined, and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- In another bowl, mix 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter and 1 cup of milk until smooth. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed; do not overmix.
- In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, pour the banana filling evenly on the bottom. Spoon the topping mixture over the bananas, spreading it out gently to cover the filling.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving.
