Homemade Southern Banana Cobbler is so easy to make and the flavor is incredible. A thick filling topped with a pecan streusel!

A DELICIOUSLY DIFFERENT COBBLER RECIPE

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 Cobbler and Apple Cobbler. So why not the humble banana? It’s a pretty inexpensive fruit and it bakes up really well and adds tons of flavor.

TIPS FOR MAKING BANANA BREAD COBBLER:

  • Since this recipe was first posted, Sir Bananas Bananamilk has gone out of production. So how I ended up updating this recipe was to substitute the banana milk with regular milk and added a teaspoon of banana extract to the milk for that original banana milk flavor! Or you could even use a banana flavored protein drink.
  • I love White Lily self-rising flour. It makes any baked goods so much better!
  • Use ripe bananas – not greenish bananas. The riper the banana, the sweeter the cobbler.
  • If you only have salted butter, just use it. It will still turn out fine.

Notes

  • This original recipe was made with a banana milk product that is no longer produced. So I have updated the recipe to just use regular milk. Also, I have made this with a banana protein drink and it turned out great as well. You could also add about a teaspoon of banana extract to the milk to get a stronger banana flavor.
  • Make sure your bananas are ripe. They should have brown spots on them. This will produce the best flavor.
