Description
A deliciously moist Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler that combines the flavors of pumpkin and pecans for a perfect fall dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice, or to taste
- ½ cup pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling
- ¼ cup milk, 2% or whole recommended
- ¼ cup canola oil, or vegetable oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup very hot or boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan very well with cooking spray. Alternatively, use a high-sided 9×9-inch baking pan or high-sided 2-quart casserole dish, reducing baking time to 25-30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice; whisk and set aside.
- In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, milk, oil, and vanilla; whisk together.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and lightly mix to combine, avoiding overmixing.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
- In a medium bowl, combine both sugars and chopped pecans; sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.
- Slowly pour the very hot or boiling water over the cake pan without stirring.
- Bake for 40 minutes or until the center is just set and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow to cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped topping, caramel sauce, or extra pecans.
Notes
- Make sure to use very hot or boiling water to help form a caramel sauce.
- Use a baking sheet under the loaf pan to catch any overflow.
- If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil during baking.
