Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Fruit and Nuts
- 4 very ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Cream Cheese Topping
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- Preheat And Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly with baking spray to prevent sticking.
- Add Butter: Pour the melted butter evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, ensuring full coverage.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, flour, white sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until smooth and well combined to form the batter.
- Assemble Batter and Toppings: Carefully pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish without stirring. Then, evenly distribute the sliced bananas and chopped walnuts over the top of the batter.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: Warm the cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl until soft and easily stirrable. Mix in the egg, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
- Add Cream Cheese Dollops: Spoon the cream cheese mixture in small pockets scattered over the batter to create creamy pockets throughout the cobbler.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Notes
- Ensure bananas are very ripe for maximum flavor and sweetness.
- Do not stir the batter after pouring over butter, as the butter will soak into the batter during baking creating a tender crust.
- Chilling the cream cheese slightly before mixing can make it easier to incorporate with the other ingredients.
- Use a toothpick test to check doneness to avoid overbaking.
- Walnuts can be toasted beforehand to enhance their flavor and crunch.
