Ingredients
Streusel Topping:
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup self-rising flour
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Cobbler:
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 4 medium-size ripe bananas, sliced
- Vanilla ice cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare Streusel: Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a medium bowl, use a fork to mix together the brown sugar, self-rising flour, and softened butter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Stir in the old-fashioned oats and chopped pecans well, then set the streusel mixture aside.
- Make Cobbler Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, sugar, and milk just until combined. Gradually whisk in the melted butter until smooth. Pour the batter evenly into a lightly greased 11 x 7-inch baking dish.
- Assemble Cobbler: Arrange the sliced bananas evenly over the batter in the baking dish. Sprinkle the prepared streusel topping generously over the bananas.
- Bake Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown on top and bubbly around the edges.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious finishing touch.
Notes
- You can substitute chopped walnuts or almonds for pecans in the streusel topping if preferred.
- Make sure the bananas are ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- This cobbler is best enjoyed warm but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
- For a gluten-free variation, use gluten-free self-rising flour.
