Ingredients

For the Cobbler Base

1 cup packed light brown sugar Dark brown sugar can be swapped for a richer profile.
4 teaspoons baking powder Helps the cobbler rise.

1 teaspoon cinnamon Optional for those who prefer a milder spice.

4 very ripe bananas sliced Use bananas with brown spots for the best flavor.
1 cup chopped walnuts Substitute with pecans for a different flavor profile.
