🎃 Keto Pumpkin Dutch Baby (Low-Carb, Gluten-Free)
🍽️ Servings: 2
⏱️ Prep Time: 5 min | Cook Time: 15–18 min
🧾 Ingredients:
Wet Ingredients:
-
3 large eggs (room temperature)
-
1/4 cup pumpkin purée (unsweetened, NOT pumpkin pie filling)
-
2 tbsp heavy cream (or unsweetened almond milk)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 tbsp melted butter (plus more for greasing)
Dry Ingredients:
-
1/4 cup almond flour
-
1 tbsp coconut flour
-
1/2 tsp baking powder
-
1–2 tbsp erythritol, monk fruit, or sweetener of choice (adjust to taste)
-
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or combo of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove)
-
Pinch of salt
🍳 Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven and Skillet
-
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Place a cast-iron skillet (8–10 inch) in the oven to heat up (this helps it puff).
2. Make the Batter
-
In a blender or bowl, combine eggs, pumpkin purée, cream, vanilla, and melted butter.
-
Blend or whisk until smooth.
-
Add almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, pumpkin spice, and salt.
-
Blend again (or whisk until fully combined and smooth).
3. Bake the Dutch Baby
-
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven.
-
Add a little butter to coat the bottom and sides (swirl to melt).
-
Pour the batter directly into the hot skillet.
-
Quickly return it to the oven.
🕒 Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until puffed, golden on the edges, and set in the center.
It may deflate slightly after removing — that’s normal!
🧁 Optional Toppings (All Keto-Friendly)
-
Whipped cream or coconut cream
-
Keto maple syrup or sugar-free syrup
-
Chopped pecans or walnuts
-
Dash of cinnamon or powdered erythritol
-
Extra dollop of pumpkin purée
🔥 Tips for Success
-
Room temp eggs help the Dutch baby puff more.
-
Don’t open the oven while baking — it may collapse.
-
Serve immediately for the best texture and wow factor!
