Banana Bread Cobbler

These were sitting on the counter.


Tawny wanted me to make Banana Pudding Pie but I didn't have any heavy cream.

My friend CaSeYmOm had posted about Banana Bread Cobbler that she'd made and how good it was. Then everyone started making it and posting about how good it was. I decided that would be the perfect use for my very ripe bananas. CaSeYmOm found this recipe in the Better Homes and Gardens 9x13 The Pan That Can cookbook, page 378.

1 cup granulated sugar

Everyone LOVED this! My husband almost never eats bananas, but tried and loved this. Ryan wasn't sure if he'd like it, so he requested a small piece, but he loved it too! Tawny & Lilly loved it! Bob isn't a fan of this kinda thing so he just passed on it. I thought it was awesome! This is so fast and easy and it's a nice alternative to banana bread for those ripe bananas!

Actually, I think I might try the oat topping from this on my next banana bread! Stay tuned!
