4.2 from 5 reviews

This homemade Southern Banana Cobbler combines a rich, thick banana filling with a crunchy pecan streusel topping, creating a delightful dessert that’s easy to make and perfect for any occasion. The creamy banana flavor is enhanced by a hint of banana extract and finished with a golden oat and pecan crumble.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

For the Topping:

  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup self-rising flour
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup uncooked old-fashioned oats
  • ½ cup chopped pecans

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons banana extract (optional)
  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
  • 4 ripe bananas, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a 2-quart or 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Streusel Topping: In a bowl, use a fork to combine the light brown sugar, self-rising flour, and softened butter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Then gently stir in the old-fashioned oats and chopped pecans. Set this streusel mixture aside while you prepare the filling.
  3. Make the Banana Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together self-rising flour, sugar, and milk until just blended. Add the melted butter and whisk again until well combined. If using, add banana extract for enhanced flavor and mix thoroughly.
  4. Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the banana filling into the prepared baking dish. Evenly layer the sliced ripe bananas over the filling. Then crumble the streusel topping evenly over the banana slices to cover the surface.
  5. Bake the Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the filling is set and no longer jiggly.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. For an extra special touch, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and additional banana slices if desired.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • The banana extract is optional but provides an extra banana punch.
  • Self-rising flour contains leavening agents; do not substitute with regular flour unless you add baking powder.
  • For a nuttier flavor, you can toast the pecans before adding to the streusel.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
  • This cobbler can be served as a dessert or a sweet breakfast treat.
