Ingredients

Scale

Banana Filling

  • 4 ripe bananas (yellow with some brown spots, sliced evenly)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Plant-Based Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plant-based)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold plant-based butter
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bananas and Filling: Peel and slice the ripe bananas evenly. In a bowl, gently toss the banana slices with cinnamon, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), granulated sugar, and natural gelling agent. Let the mixture sit while you prepare the crust to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Make the Plant-Based Crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour (plant-based), baking powder, and granulated sugar. Cut in cold plant-based butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in apple cider vinegar and vanilla extract (natural) just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the crust tender and flaky.
  3. Assemble the Cobbler: Lightly grease a baking dish. Spoon the banana filling evenly as the base layer. Gently spread the crust mixture over the bananas, leaving some areas exposed for a rustic appearance.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cobbler for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling bubbles softly. Monitor to prevent overbrowning. Remove from oven and let cool slightly for about 15 minutes to allow the filling to set.

Notes

  • Use bananas at the perfect ripeness (yellow with brown spots) for maximum sweetness and softness.
  • Spoon and level flour rather than scooping directly to avoid a dense crust.
  • Keep plant-based butter cold before mixing to ensure flaky layers.
  • Mix ingredients gently until just combined to maintain a tender crust.
  • Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 15 minutes to improve sliceability and filling set.
