Banana Cobbler

Someone once said, “Boredom always precedes a period of great creativity.”  At least for me, the great pandemic shut-in of 2020 is the epitome of boredom and I’m doing my best to keep it in check by trying new recipes while cooped up in the house for weeks on end.  This is by no means a “new” recipe since I’ve found it online in numerous places.  The earliest posting appears to be from Sept 2008 on a blog named At Home In Alaska authored by “alskamom”  which sadly appears to now be dormant although it remains accessible online.  Maybe this doesn’t quite qualify as “great creativity” but it is still a fantastic, yet simple, delicious dessert and I am thrilled to have found it! 

One of the interesting things about this recipe is steps 2 and 3 in the instructions.  I had never used this technique of pouring the batter into a dish of melted butter and then topping that with the main ingredient (i.e. banana) all without stirring the mixture.  Now I've run across five or six recipes that use the same technique.
