Common Questions

Can I use frozen bananas for Southern Banana Cobbler?

Yes, but thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid first to prevent the cobbler from becoming too soggy.

How do I get a crunchier topping?

Ensure your butter is cold when mixing the streusel, and don't over-mix it; you want small pea-sized clumps of butter remaining.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Absolutely! Substitute the milk with almond or oat milk and use a plant-based butter stick for identical results.
