I've been cravingPumpkin Pie but wasn't in the mood to make a crust, so I made Pumpkin Cobbler instead!

Pumpkin Cobbler is like the best of both worlds with a silky smooth pumpkin filling and crunchy spiced brown sugar nut topping! This recipe is so easy to make I might just forgo Pumpkin Pie this year at Thanksgiving and serve Pumpkin Cobbler instead. 

Pumpkin Cobbler like all my other Cobbler Recipes is perfect for an easy dessert for the family or taking to your next potluck. We love it with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream but Sweetened Whipping Cream would be equally delicious.

Here's how I make this Easy Pumpkin Cobbler Recipe from scratch:

A down shot of eggs, pumpkin, brown sugar, milk, salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl.
Mix together:
  • 15 ounces Pumpkin Puree
  • 3 whole Eggs
  • 2/3 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup Whole Milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon Allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
Until well combined.

Here's my recipe for Homemade Roasted Pumpkin Puree, incase you don't want to use canned.

Pumpkin Cobbler filling in a pan.
Pour Pumpkin Mixture into an 8"x11" pan.

Flour, Brown Sugar, Granulated Sugar, Nuts, Baking Powder, Cinnamon, Ginger, Allspice, and Nutmeg to make cobbler topping.
In a mixing bowl stir together:
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 cup Chopped Walnuts or Pecans
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon Ground Allspice
  • 1/8 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
Until well combined.

Egg and Vanilla being mixed into Pumpkin Cobbler topping.
Make a well in the center of flour mixture. Mix in 1 whole Egg and 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract.

Mixed Pumpkin Cobbler topping in a mixing bowl.
Mix using a fork until mixture becomes super crumbly, and egg is no longer visible. 

Alternatively you can also add all ingredients to the mixer and mix until well combined.

Cobbler topping being spread over Pumpkin Cobbler filling.
Gently press crumb topping betweens fingers and cover top of Pumpkin Mixture.

Butter being drizzled over the top of Pumpkin Cobbler.
Drizzle with 1/2 cup Melted Butter until evenly covered.

Bake in a 375 degree oven for 50-55 minutes until top is golden brown and center is just slightly loose.

We always did this with yellow cake mix (which I won't use any more) So I can not wait to try this! Pinning!

Beautiful shot!

This is just beautiful! I should probably wait for some occasion to make it but am seriously tempted to have it tonight.

I would pass up the pie for a piece of this streusel topped goodness!

i have such struggles with pie crust (shrinking! leakage! sticking!), so this sounds like the perfect way to get my pumpkin pie fix in (:

Prepared this tonight for dessert while playing cards. Five stars from all who had some. I doubled the recipe and thought it would be too sweet, but it wasn't. If doubling the recipe next time, I will experiment with just 2/3 of a cup (1/3 cup doubled), as it was VERY buttery with 1 cup of melted butter.

Britt F said...

I cut the sugar back and it was still too sweet for me. Also, I ended up over-baking it (I baked for 10 min less but in a 9x13 because it's what I had). I might experiment with the recipe a bit, because I love that there's no yellow cake mix and whole milk instead of sweetened condensed.

Really delicious!!! I make it with gf flour and dairy free butter because of allergies and you can’t tell that I’ve made the substitution. It’s sooo good!!!

Serena Bakes Simply From Scratch said...

Thank you so much for letting me know! I always love hearing about substitutions and how it goes! I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving!

What size baking dish would be best to use if we don't have an 8x11? I have an 8x8, 9x13, and some in between. Also, how should I adjust the baking time?

Serena Bakes Simply From Scratch said...

A 9"x13" would be best, but your pumpkin layer will be a little thinner. I would start checking it at the 40 min. mark until the top is golden brown and center is just slightly loose when the pans moved. I hope that helps. Thanks, Serena

How long will this dish last? Should it be kept in the fridge?

Serena Bakes Simply From Scratch said...

Yes, keep it in the fridge and it should last 3-4 days like pumpkin pie. Thanks, Serena
