A warm and comforting banana cobbler made with tender bananas coated in a rich caramel-like sauce and topped with a buttery cinnamon walnut crumble, baked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

¼ cup salted butter (filling)

½ cup corn syrup

½ cup heavy cream

½ cup light brown sugar (filling)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ tablespoon rum extract (optional)

6 ripe bananas, sliced

½ cup salted butter, cold (topping)

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup light brown sugar (topping)

1 cup chopped walnuts

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the topping by cutting the cold butter into tablespoon-sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine butter, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Use a fork or pastry cutter to mix until the butter forms pea-sized crumbs. Stir in chopped walnuts and set aside.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine ¼ cup butter, corn syrup, heavy cream, and brown sugar. Stir until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Add sliced bananas, vanilla extract, and rum extract (if using). Gently fold to coat the bananas evenly in the sauce.
  5. Pour the banana mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the banana mixture.
  7. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
  8. Serve warm for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Pecans can be substituted for walnuts for a different flavor.

Use dark corn syrup for a deeper caramel taste.

Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.

For a nut-free version, omit the walnuts.

Reheat in the oven at 300°F to maintain topping crispness.

Best served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
