Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler 🎃🍮🍂 Gooey Pumpkin Spice Base With a Buttery Pecan Crunch

This pumpkin pecan cobbler is part cake, part pudding, and part crunchy topping — baked together into one irresistible fall dessert.

As it bakes, the spiced pumpkin batter forms a gooey sauce on the bottom while the pecan-studded top turns golden and crisp. Best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients (Serves 8)

For the pumpkin batter

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp ground ginger
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• Pinch of cloves
• ½ cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
• ¼ cup milk (whole or 2%)
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the topping

• ½ cup brown sugar, packed
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup chopped pecans
• 1½ cups hot water

Optional topping

• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream

Step 1: Preheat oven

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Make the batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Stir in pumpkin purée, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Spread batter evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3: Add the topping

Sprinkle brown sugar, granulated sugar, and chopped pecans evenly over the batter.

Step 4: Pour hot water

Slowly pour the hot water over the entire dish — do not stir. The liquid will create a rich sauce underneath as it bakes.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crisp, with bubbling sauce underneath.

Step 6: Serve

Cool slightly, then serve warm, spooning cobbler and sauce into bowls. Top with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Flavor Variations

• Add maple syrup or maple extract to the batter for extra autumn flavor
• Use walnuts instead of pecans for a different nutty crunch
• Swirl a little caramel sauce into the batter before baking for richness
• Sprinkle coarse sea salt on top for a sweet-salty finish

Pro Tips

• Don’t stir after adding hot water — it’s key for creating the gooey sauce
• Serve straight from the oven for the best texture contrast
• Leftovers can be refrigerated, but reheat gently to bring back the gooeyness
• Pair with vanilla ice cream or cinnamon ice cream for a perfect finish

Final Thoughts

Pumpkin Pecan Cobbler is warm, gooey, and packed with fall flavor — a cross between pumpkin pie and a molten cake. With its spiced base, buttery pecans, and built-in sauce, it’s a dessert that tastes like autumn comfort in every bite.

Bake it. Scoop it. Savor the gooey crunch. 🎃🍮🍂
