- ¼ cup maple syrup (85 grams)
- 2 tablespoons oil

Pumpkin dutch baby cake
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup milk, room temperature (250 ml)
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour (83 grams)
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree, room temperature (60 grams)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (25 grams)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons butter (28 grams)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the pecan granola. Combine rolled oats with chopped pecans, maple syrup, oil, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well and spread the granola onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Bake for 40 minutes, stirring the mixture every 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer the granola to a clean parchment paper. Let cool.
- Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Preheat a 10-inch cast-iron pan or oven-safe pan for 10 minutes.
- Combine eggs, milk, all-purpose flour, pumpkin puree, sugar, vanilla, pumpkin spice, and salt in a blender. Puree until all of the ingredients are incorporated and the batter is frothy, about 30 seconds. Alternatively, whisk together all the ingredients in a large bowl until well combined. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- Take the hot pan out of the oven and add butter. Swirl the butter around the pan to melt and pour in the dutch baby cake batter. Bake for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees and bake for another 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the maple whipped cream. Whip heavy cream with maple syrup and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Keep in the refridgerator until ready to use.
- Remove the pumpkin dutch baby cake from the oven. Serve with maple whipped cream and pecan granola. Drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
Notes
You can make the granola up to 1 week in advance.
Make sure all the ingredients for the pancake are at room temperature to ensure that the pancake rises in the oven.
