🎃 Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler

🧑‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: to 350°F / 175°C. Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  2. Make the Batter:
    • In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and spices.
    • Stir in pumpkin purée, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
    • Spread batter evenly in the prepared dish.
  3. Add the Topping:
    • In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, granulated sugar, and pecans.
    • Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
  4. Pour the Water:
    • Carefully pour hot water over the top (do NOT stir — this is what creates the gooey sauce).
  5. Bake:
    • Bake for 40–45 minutes until the top is golden and a bit crisp.
    • The bottom will be soft and saucy — that’s what you want!
  6. Serve:
    • Scoop into bowls while warm and top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

🍂 Tips:

  • Extra cozy flavor: Add a drizzle of caramel sauce before serving.
  • Nut-free option: Skip the pecans or replace with toasted pumpkin seeds.
  • This dessert is best served warm, straight from the oven — perfect for holidays or chilly nights.

Would you like me to give you a small-batch version (perfect for 2–3 servings) so you can make this as a quick weeknight treat without leftovers?
