Ingredients

Dutch baby:

  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • ¾ cup milk (any type), warmed
  • ¼ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¾ cup white whole wheat flour
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (or mix of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice and cloves)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar or light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Optional Toppings:

  • Powdered sugar, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400° F.
  • Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven to heat.
  • Blend the eggs, milk, pumpkin, flour, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, salt, and sugar together in a blender until smooth. Alternatively you can whisk the eggs and milk together in a bowl until blended and light yellow and then whisk in the other ingredients until smooth.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven. Place the butter in the skillet and swirl it around until it melts.
  • Pour the batter into the skillet and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake 22-25 minutes until puffed up and golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and serve (Dutch baby will start to fall within minutes of being taken out of the oven). Dust with powdered sugar. and top with desired garnishes like maple syrup, yogurt and pecans.

Notes

It's important to use room temperature eggs and warm milk in this dish so that the Dutch baby rises well in the oven; cold ingredients will prevent it from rising fully
Don't open the oven to peek- the high blast of heat is what helps the Dutch baby rise
