A delicious twist on the classic Bananas Foster dessert, this cobbler features caramelized bananas and a rich, buttery topping, perfect for a decadent treat.

Ingredients

4 ripe bananas, sliced
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup dark rum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Cobbler Topping:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Banana Mixture:

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the brown sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the sliced bananas, rum, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the bananas are well coated and slightly softened.
Pour the banana mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Prepare the Cobbler Topping:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract, stirring until just combined. The batter will be thick.
Assemble the Cobbler:

Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler batter over the banana mixture, spreading it slightly to cover most of the bananas. It’s okay if some of the banana mixture shows through.
Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serve:

Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
Enjoy this rich and indulgent Banana Foster Cobbler as a perfect ending to any meal!
