🎃 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.
