Sourdough Pumpkin Dutch Baby Pancake

“This is a great fall breakfast treat!”


I would love more FREE recipes and tips straight to my IN BOX!

I awakened this morning with the desire to bake. Not just anything, but something new and something fall. I had a lot of discard to use up, so what better way than with a pumpkin Dutch baby pancake. This recipe contains pumpkin puree and cinnamon to add those hints of fall. Top it with bananas, maple butter, pumpkin seeds and pecan and you've got the perfect brunch treat. Just add bacon!

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 15 min

Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

For the Pancake:

  • 6 large eggs

  • 2 cups sourdough starter, (active or not)

  • 2/3 cup pumpkin puree, (180 g)

  • 1/3 cup milk, (or coconut milk)

  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg

  • 6 Tbsp butter

For the Maple Butter Topping (if desired):

  • 4 Tbsp butter

  • 1Tbsp maple syrup

Preparation Steps

1. Preheat oven to 425º F.

2. In a large bowl or blender, add sourdough starter, pumpkin, eggs, milk, salt, cinnamon, vanilla, and maple syrup. Whisk or blend until smooth.

3. Add butter to a 12 inch cast iron skillet and place into the hot oven to melt.

4. Pour the batter over the melted butter and place into the preheated oven.

5. Bake for 15-20 minutes until puffed up. (I ended up baking mine for 19 minutes. It still looked soft in the center but a toothpick inserted in the center came out clean so I removed it from the oven. It tasted perfectly baked at this point. )

6. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve right away with maple butter, chopped pecans (substitute walnuts or pistachios if desired), pumpkin seeds, granola, fruit or maple syrup.

NOTE
This easy Sourdough Pumpkin Dutch Baby Pancake has the great taste of fall. It has a delicious, soft center with the classic puffiness of your favorite German pancake recipe but made healthier with fermented grains. Topped with bananas, maple butter, pumpkin seeds and nuts, it's a simply delightful brunch treat. It's the perfect recipe to use up lots of sourdough discard.
