UPDATE: Sir Bananas Bananamilk has gone out of production. However, you can still make this recipe. Just substitute it with regular milk. If you like, you can add about a teaspoon of banana extract to the milk for a stronger banana flavor!
That’s Bananas
I love a good fruit cobbler. Especially in the summer. There’s just something about those fresh summer fruits topped with a fluffy cake-like topping. But what about bananas? I mean, it’s a given that peach cobbler is always a hit along with cherry and apple. So why not the humble banana? It’s a pretty inexpensive fruit and it bakes up really well and adds tons of flavor.
Bananamilk. Say What?
And what if we take those yummy bananas and turned them into bananamilk? I was in Kroger the other day and noticed this carton of SIR BANANAS® by the milk. The yellow packaging and the adorable monkey caught my eye. 😉 We must be part monkey in my family because we go through A LOT of nanners each week. But what if we could drink that yummy protein AND calcium? All in one! That’s bananas! Literally! So I picked up a carton (oh and I got a carton of the Chocolate Bananamilk too!) 
This milk is bananas.®
I can honestly say this was really good! I am not a huge milk drinker but SIR BANANAS® has actually made me want to drink it. And it’s kinda awesome because it has 7 grams of protein! That protein helps fill me up so it’s a really great pick-me-up snack in the morning and afternoon. It is delicious straight outta the carton.
Banana Bread Cobbler
The little Monkey Mates™are perfect for on-the-go and I can pack them into my son’s lunch. It’s made with real bananas and has no high-fructose corn syrup, no artificial flavors, sweeteners or colors, is gluten-free, and carrageenan-free. It’s also AMAZING in smoothies. I also have been substituting the bananamilk in recipes that call for regular milk. I have used it in pancakes and in my banana bread and banana pudding. You can find a bunch more recipes HERE. And now I am using it in this Banana Bread Cobbler. It takes that banana flavor over-the-top!
Ingredients:
for the topping:
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup uncooked old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup chopped pecans
for the filling:
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup Sir Bananas Bananamilk (or regular milk)
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
4 bananas, sliced
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375f degrees. Spray a 2-quart (or 9×9) baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Make the streusel: In a bowl, using a fork, stir together the brown sugar, flour and butter, until crumbly. Then stir in the oats and pecans. Set aside.
Make the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar and Sir Bananas Bananamilk just until blended. Whisk in melted butter. Then pour into the prepared baking dish.
Layer banana slices on top.
Then crumble streusel topping evenly on top of the banana layer.
Bake for about 45-50 minutes until golden brown and no longer jiggly.
Dig in! Optional: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Enjoy!

I am a new subscriber to your yummy “Country Cook” recipes. My issue is I cannot copy and past your recipes very easily. I do not even see a “Print” button that I can use to copy and paste from. I don’t “save” recipes to Pinterest, I save them to my own Recipe file on Microsoft Word. Can you help me?

Thank you!

Hi, I want to make this breads but we don’t have banana milk here in Florida, what could I use for substitution? Could I make banana milk?
Hi Cecelia! This Sir Bananas is ALL over Florida! I live in a small town so if I can find it here, I know you can definitely find it in Florida. I looked up a few Florida zip codes and found it in tons of places. You could certainly use whole milk but here is a link so you can see where it is near you! 🙂 https://sirbananas.com/where-to-buy.php
Thank you, I will be looking for it
My Houston, TX Kroger doesn’t carry this milk. What do you think about half whole milk and half banana pudding as a sub?
Hi Toni! I don’t see why not but you might be surprised that it is located near you. I live in a small town and was able to find it at both my local grocery stores. Here is a link to show you where to buy! 🙂 https://sirbananas.com/where-to-buy.php
I’m from Canada. Do you know of any store here that sells bananamilk? I can’t find it anywhere.
Patricia, let me look into that for you. I’m not sure if it is in Canada yet. I do know you can purchase the Monkey Mates on Amazon! 🙂 Here’s a link: http://bit.ly/2tWzQG3
I must find this milk!!
Prepare to get hooked once you try it. Seriously, I have gone through two gallons of the Chocolate Bananamilk already. LOL
Hi
Did the cobbler end up being moist like peach cobbler does?
Makes my mouth water! I cannot wait to make this!! 🙂 🙂
Thank you Nichole!!
This is so good! I used 1/2 cup of banana pudding and 1/2cup of milk instead of the banana milk and it was fantastic.
Refrigerate after or just leave room temp?
Woo Hoo!! Love hearing that! I left it at room temp. but if you have any concerns, just pop it in the fridge and re-heat your individual portions. It’s good chilled too (in my opinion). 🙂
Is that 1/2 cup of dry pudding (reg or instant) mixed with 1/2 cup milk or what?
I would think if you cannot find banana milk, you could use whole milk and add some banana extract .. I will definitely be making this!
Is there a recipe to make this in a crock pot? I’m without access to a regular oven at the moment and have use my crock pots for a lot of things. It would be awesome to make this!
Thank you!
Wow, thanks for the response!
I made the cobbler to a tee. Everything was wonderful. Will def make , again!
We don’t have Banana Milk available in Virginia yet. Any suggestions on what to make/use as a substitute? I really want to try this recipe – it sounds brilliant AND delicious.
Hi Beth! I’m in Virginia too! It’s available at Kroger.???? But you could use regular whole milk.
I am obsessed with desserts! Definitely banana bread cobbler will be yummy! Of course I will try it! My kids would be love this dessert! Thx for sharing Brandie!
Absolutely love your creative idea with banana bread cobbler! Never seen something like this! Definitely will try to make it too! Thx, Brandie for sharing!
Hey Brandi!!
Is there any other milk you suggest? I just searched for Sir Bananas milk

We have news to share.
It’s hard to say goodbye. We’re sorry to announce that Sir Bananas has been discontinued. Thank you for supporting Sir Bananas. We truly appreciate all the feedback and love we’ve received. We’ll miss all of our Bananabassadors out there!
All the best,

I’m in Florida so not sure where to find something similar.
Well, boo on them! LOL! It totally works with just regular milk!!
This banana bread cobbler looks delicious, I just want to devour it off the screen! Thanks for sharing, Brandie!
Even yummier than I was expecting! I used plain almond milk instead of the banana milk, and no banana extract (I dislike the flavor of artificial banana). Everything else I followed to the letter and it was a huge hit! My new favorite banana recipe! 🙂
This banana bread cobbler is so Instagrammable and adorable! As you know I made it a short while ago and it was lovely! Thx for sharing,Brandie!
