Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons (tbsp) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour (or additional all-purpose flour)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 teaspoons (tsp) pure vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Grease a deep baking dish and heat the oven to the appropriate temperature for creating a warm, inviting dessert.
- Carefully blend the dry ingredients for the pumpkin foundation, ensuring a smooth and even mixture of flour, leavening agent, seasoning, and aromatic spices.
- Create a luxurious wet mixture by whisking together the sweet components, pumpkin puree, dairy liquid, liquefied butter, and fragrant vanilla extract until thoroughly incorporated.
- Gently transfer the silky batter into the prepared baking vessel, spreading it evenly across the surface.
- Craft a decadent topping by combining granulated and brown sugars with ground cinnamon and roughly chopped pecans, creating a textural and flavor-rich layer.
- Generously scatter the nutty, spiced topping across the pumpkin base, ensuring complete coverage.
- Carefully stream piping hot water over the entire surface, allowing it to settle without disturbing the layered ingredients.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven, baking until the cobbler develops a golden, caramelized crust and the interior sets with a slight wobble.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly, then serve while warm alongside a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream or dollop of fresh whipped cream.
Notes
- Adjust spice levels by adding more cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger for a bolder flavor profile.
- Swap pecans with walnuts or almonds if you prefer a different nut texture or have allergies.
- Create a gluten-free version by using alternative flour blends like almond or coconut flour.
- Enhance the dessert’s richness by drizzling caramel sauce or adding a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
