Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Sweeteners and Liquids:
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Spices and Leavening:
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a 9×9 inch baking dish with a light grease coating.
- Create a silky mixture by blending pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, thoroughly combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg using a whisk.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just incorporated without overmixing.
- Transfer the batter into the greased baking dish, ensuring an even distribution across the surface.
- Generously scatter chopped pecans over the entire batter layer.
- Delicately pour boiling water across the entire surface, allowing it to settle naturally into the mixture.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, watching for a set top and checking with a toothpick for clean insertion.
- Allow the cobbler to rest and slightly cool for 10 minutes before serving to let the textures settle and flavors meld.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent texture.
- Opt for fresh, high-quality pumpkin puree for the most authentic flavor and best results.
- When adding boiling water, pour slowly and evenly to create the signature cobbler sauce without disrupting the batter.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain the recipe’s delicate structure.
