Banana Bread Cobbler with Pecan Streusel

It was early in the evening. I was fixing dinner and checking the contents of my refrigerator. I saw cream from my raw milk that needed to be used. I already had a batch of sour cream. I wanted to whip it.

And whip it good.

So whip it I did. With a bit of vanilla extract and coconut sugar. Mmmm.

But then I needed a dessert with which to consume this freshly whipped cream! Something small. A cobbler of some sort. I went in search for fruit. A few blueberries. A couple apples meant for juicing. And a bunch of bananas that were quickly turning brown.

Can I make a banana cobbler? Does that even exist? Would it be any good? I searched Pinterest and was pleasantly surprised to discover a recipe for Banana Bread Cobbler. Not quite cobbler, not quite bread, but a scrumptious looking hybrid of the two. But it was made with refined flour and sugar. So I improvised and made my own healthy Banana Bread Cobbler with Pecan Streusel recipe!

Major success. Studhubs loved it and requested it again.

Banana Bread Cobbler

This recipe makes enough for two individual servings. Double it up if you are using an 8×8 baking dish or quadruple it for an 11×17. If you’re unfamiliar with coconut sugar, it’s a low-glycemic, nutrient-rich natural sweetener made from the sap of the coconut tree. It’s sometimes also called palm sugar and you can buy it here.
