Ingredients
For the Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler
- 2 cups pumpkin purée
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the oven and dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
- Form the batter: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cobbler tender.
- Add pecans: Fold in the chopped pecans evenly into the batter for a crunchy texture throughout.
- Bake the cobbler: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cobbler is bubbly around the edges and the center is soft and set.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving. This allows the center to set slightly for perfect texture.
Notes
- For an extra touch, serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- You can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds if preferred.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
- If you want a less sweet dessert, reduce the brown sugar to 1/2 cup.
- Ensure the pumpkin purée is pure and unsweetened for the best flavor control.
