This decadent banana cobbler tastes like banana bread but better. This banana bread cobbler recipe is easy to make - the sauce creates like magic - and it has incredible flavor. Serve Magic Banana Cobbler warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream for a comforting and delicious dessert.
Melt 1/2 cup butter and pour into your 9x13 inch cake pan or casserole dish.
½ cup butter
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, milk, and vanilla extract (or almond). Stir to combine, then pour over melted butter. The mixture will be slightly thicker than pancake batter.
1 and ½ cups self-rising flour, 1 cups granulated sugar, ¾ to 1 cup whole milk, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Sprinkle brown sugar over top of batter.
1 and ½ cups brown sugar
Spread the sliced bananas (see note) and chopped walnuts over the brown sugar.
2 large bananas, 1 cup walnuts
Carefully pour hot water over batter. Do not stir.
1 and ½ cups hot water
Cook 33 to 42 minutes until golden brown on top. The cobbler will be 'jiggly' in the center but will set as it cools.
Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It can be reheated in the microwave or oven.
Notes
If you don't want chunks of bananas, you can mash them and mix them into the batter.
