  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted Can use dairy-free butter substitute.
  • ¾ cup brown sugar Adjust based on sweetness preference.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your Banana Bread Cobbler bakes evenly and develops a beautiful golden crust.

Prepare Your Baking Dish

  • Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a little butter or a dairy-free substitute. This step is crucial to prevent sticking and to make serving easier.

Mash the Bananas

  • In a mixing bowl, mash 3-4 ripe bananas until smooth. The riper the bananas, the sweeter your cobbler will be. This is an essential step, as it adds moisture and flavor.

Mix the Wet Ingredients

  • To the mashed bananas, add ½ cup of melted butter (or a butter substitute), ¾ cup of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir these ingredients together until well combined.

Combine the Dry Ingredients

  • In another bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg. This mixture will provide the structure and flavor for your cobbler.

Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a dense texture.

Add Oats and Nuts

  • Fold in 1 cup of rolled oats and ½ cup of chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans). These ingredients add a delightful crunch and enhance the overall flavor of your Banana Bread Cobbler.

Layer the Mixture

  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Then, layer the remaining batter on top. This creates a lovely texture that is characteristic of a cobbler.

Bake

  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve

  • Once baked, remove the Banana Bread Cobbler from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. This cooling period allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve warm, and enjoy the comforting aroma that fills your kitchen!
