Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup pumpkin puree
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.25 cup melted butter
Spices and Seasonings:
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sweeteners and Toppings:
- 0.75 cup sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
- 1.5 cups hot water
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by warming it to 350°F (175°C), ensuring an ideal baking temperature.
- Combine dry ingredients in a spacious mixing vessel, whisking flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and warming pumpkin pie spice until thoroughly integrated.
- Introduce moisture components: pumpkin puree, creamy milk, richly melted butter, and aromatic vanilla extract into the dry mixture, blending until a smooth, cohesive batter forms.
- Transfer the silky batter into a generously greased baking dish, spreading evenly to create a uniform base.
- Craft a decadent topping by mixing refined sugar, deeply flavored brown sugar, and crunchy chopped pecans in a separate bowl.
- Liberally scatter the sugary pecan mixture across the pumpkin batter’s surface, creating a textured and sweet layer.
- Carefully drizzle hot water across the entire topping, allowing it to settle naturally without disturbing the layers.
- Place the prepared dish into the preheated oven, allowing it to transform for 40-45 minutes until the surface turns a golden amber and the edges bubble enticingly.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cobbler to rest momentarily, permitting the flavors to meld and settle before serving.
Notes
- Swap out regular flour for gluten-free flour blend to make this dessert celiac-friendly and just as delicious.
- Toast pecans before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor and add extra depth to the cobbler’s topping.
- Use canned pumpkin puree for consistent texture, but roasting fresh pumpkin can elevate the natural sweetness and create a more robust autumn flavor profile.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to balance the warm, spiced cobbler and create a decadent dessert experience.
