Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler

This tasty treat has all the flavors of fall!

When it comes to fall flavors, it doesn’t get any better than pumpkin and pecan. Traditionally, these flavors were pretty much designated to pie form, but pumpkin has taken to the spotlight in recent years thanks to the famous pumpkin spice latte. It’s high time we throw some pecans in there and make a delicious autumn treat, don’t you think?

I’m normally a die-hard chocolate fan when it comes to desserts, but I’m willing to make an exception when it comes to sweet, spicy desserts like this one. Add on a scoop of cool, creamy vanilla ice cream and I’m in fall-flavored heaven!

INGREDIENTS :

FOR THE COBBLER

• 1 cup + 3 tablespoons flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon cloves
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 3 teaspoons vanilla

FOR THE TOPPING

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans
• 1 1/2 cups very hot water

DIRECTIONS :

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a medium-sized bowl. Set aside.
3. In a smaller bowl, combine pumpkin, milk, melted butter, and vanilla together to combine. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix to create a thick batter. Pour into a small 8-inch casserole dish with high sides.
4. To make the topping, stir sugar, brown sugar, and pecans together in a separate bowl. Spread over the top of the batter evenly.
5. Pour hot water over the entire thing – without stirring – and place on a baking sheet in case it bubbles over. Bake for 40 minutes or once the middle is set.
6. Cool 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve with more pecans and vanilla ice cream.
