Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Wet Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), melted
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

1 cup pecans, chopped

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for even baking of the cobbler.
Melt Butter and Combine Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Then add both granulated sugar and brown sugar, whisking them together until smooth and fully combined to create a rich base.
Add Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, chopped pecans, vanilla extract, milk, eggs, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon if using. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix until the batter is smooth and evenly combined with no lumps.
Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish thoroughly, then pour the batter into it, spreading it out evenly so it bakes uniformly.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. The cobbler is done when the top is a golden brown color and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool Slightly: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. This allows it to set slightly, making it easier to serve.
Serve: Serve the pecan cobbler warm, ideally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra delicious fall treat.

Notes

For a nut-free version, omit the pecans and substitute with extra flour or oats for texture.
Adding cinnamon is optional but adds a lovely warm spice that enhances the flavor.
Use freshly chopped pecans for the best texture and taste.
Make sure not to overbake to prevent dryness; check at 30 minutes for doneness.
Best enjoyed the day it’s made but can be stored covered at room temperature for 2 days.
