Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
Servings: 8

🛒 Ingredients

For the Batter:

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp cloves
½ cup pumpkin puree
¼ cup milk
¼ cup melted butter
1½ tsp vanilla extract

For the Topping:

½ cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup chopped pecans
1½ cups hot water

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.

2. Make the Batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and spices.
In another bowl, combine pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined (the batter will be thick).
Spread evenly into the prepared baking dish.

3. Add the Topping

In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, granulated sugar, and chopped pecans. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
Pour hot water over the top (do not stir — the water will form a caramel sauce as it bakes).

4. Bake

Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are bubbling with sauce.

5. Serve

Let cool slightly before serving warm. Spoon from the bottom to get the gooey caramel sauce.
Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate fall treat! 🍨

💡 Tips

Don’t stir after adding the hot water — this creates the self-saucing effect.
Substitute walnuts for pecans if preferred.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat before serving.
