Ingredients
Scale
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ginger
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
- ½ cup pumpkin purée
- ¼ cup milk
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup chopped pecans
Topping
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup hot water
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- Prepare Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Add pumpkin purée, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth. Fold in chopped pecans.
- Transfer Batter: Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Make Topping: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and granulated sugar, then sprinkle evenly over the batter. Carefully pour hot water over the top without stirring.
- Bake: Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbly. The cobbler will have a gooey layer at the bottom, similar to a pudding cake.
- Serve: Let cool for a few minutes, then serve warm. Optional: Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider using freshly grated spices instead of ground.
- Make sure the water is hot to create the desired gooey layer.
