⏳ Total Time: 50 minutes (Prep: 10 min | Bake: 40 min)

Ingredients

For the Cobbler Base

  • ½ cup pumpkin purée
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup melted butter or vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg

  • ¼ cup pecans, finely chopped
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cups hot water (as hot as you can get it!)

How to Make Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

🔥 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

🥣 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:
✅ Flour
✅ Baking powder
✅ Salt
✅ Granulated sugar
✅ Cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves

Set this bowl aside and take a moment to enjoy the cozy spice aroma!

Step 3: Prepare the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, mix together:
Pumpkin purée
Milk
Melted butter or oil
Vanilla extract

Step 4: Combine Wet & Dry

Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring until a smooth, thick batter forms.

Step 5: Assemble the Cobbler

🧈 Grease an 8-inch casserole dish and spread the batter evenly inside.

Step 6: Create the Sugary Pecan Topping

🥄 In another bowl, combine:
✅ Granulated sugar
✅ Brown sugar
✅ Chopped pecans

Sprinkle this evenly over the cobbler batter.

Step 7: The Magic Step!

🚰 Slowly pour the hot water over everything—but don’t stir! This is the secret to getting a rich caramel sauce underneath as it bakes.

Step 8: Bake & Enjoy

⏳ Place the dish on a baking sheet (to catch any bubbling sauce) and bake for 40 minutes, or until the center is set and golden brown.

Step 9: Cool & Serve

Let the cobbler rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 10: Add the Finishing Touch

🥄 Spoon onto plates, drizzle with extra caramel, and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

🍨 Best Served: Warm, right out of the oven, with ice cream or whipped cream.
❄️ Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
