For the topping:
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup self-rising flour adds fluffiness to the topping
  • ½ cup unsalted butter 1 stick softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats uncooked adds texture
  • ½ cup chopped pecans for crunch and flavor

  4. Arrange banana slices evenly on top of the filling.
  5. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the bananas.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the cobbler is golden brown and the center is no longer jiggly.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Optional: Serve with vanilla ice cream and extra banana slices.
