Pumpkin Dutch Babies


  • Today is Halloween!!! And in our house that means all things pumpkin and/or orange. All of our meals have something with pumpkin or the natural color of orange in it.

  • On the menu today is pumpkin Dutch babies for breakfast served with persimmons and orange juice. For lunch we will eat carrots and have peanut butter and orange marmalade sandwiches. Dinner is my most favorite! We will be devouring macaroni and cheese (my personal recipe I'm not ready to put online yet.) The only thing is our macaroni will not actually be orange since we do not use cheese that is colored. ;) After dinner we will carve our pumpkins to look silly and head out the door for a fun night of "Trick or Treat".

  • Before the sun came up, I slaved about (not really) in the kitchen to create for Dorthy, Toto and my hungry Pioneer, Pumpkin Dutch Babies. Super easy and quick. Just a few extra steps added to the Dutch Baby recipe. 
  • The vote, unanimous, We Loved it!!! Hope you do too!

  • Pumpkin Dutch Baby Pancakes 

  • 1 C. Organic Almond Milk
  • 1 tsp Gluten Free Vanilla Extract
  • 4 Lg. Organic Range Free Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Organic Pumpkin Purée 
  • 1/4 tsp. Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 2 pinches of Nutmeg
  • 1 C. Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour  ( I used Trader Joe''s Gluten Free Brand)
  • 2 Tbsp. Butter
  • Maple Syrup or whipped cream and powder sugar

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and make sure the oven rack 
is in the middle space. Whisk almond milk, vanilla, eggs, 
cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg and kosher salt in a 
medium size bowl. Vigorously whisk in the flour , putting in a 
little at a time until smooth.
Melt 2 Tbsp of the butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over
medium heat until the butter is a light golden brown, and 

remove from heat.
Pour batter mixture into the melted butter skillet. Put the
cast-iron skillet into the oven and bake until  golden and puffed 
up, about 25 minutes, I cooked this slightly longer than the 
regular Dutch Babies since I added another wet ingredient. 
Be careful not to overcook. You don't want dried out egg!
Remove from oven and serve immediately. Serve with maple 
syrup or whipped cream and powder sugar.

Have a Happy and Safe Halloween!
