I won’t lie it has been hard to keep up with this blog and all the recipes. But! We have managed and now I get to share one of my favorite fall breakfasts with you!

Vanilla Almond Dutch Baby Pancake looks fancy enough to wow your mother in law but honestly is the easiest thing to make. All you need is a cast-iron skillet, a blender, oh, and a few ingredients and you are ready to go.

How to make Vanilla Almond Dutch Baby

The first thing is first with this Vanilla Almond Dutch Baby Pancake place all the ingredients except the butter into the blender and blends until smooth. Wow now that the hard part is over…
Melt the butter in the cast iron skillet in your preheated oven.
The reason why I mix my batter first then melt the butter is that it gives the batter time to rest allowing the glutens to do their work.
Once butter is melted carefully remove the dish from the oven, and very very carefully pour batter into the hot cast iron with the butter and immediately place cast iron back in the oven and allow to bake.

Once done the outer rim is golden brown and the middle may look puffy but then it will go flat after a moment out of the oven. That is okay.
Top with your favorite fruit and dust with powdered sugar and you are all set!

For this fall we have been on a apples and peaches kick so these brown sugar macerated apples and peaches are the perfect pairings for this Vanilla Almond Dutch Baby Pancake!

FAQ and Tips

Common Questions that get asked about the recipe, and tips to save you time and money.

Do you have to put fruit on the pancake or can you syrup?
Once the pancake is made you can top it any way your heart desires.
Can these be made ahead of time and reheated?
Yes and no. You can make it in advance and reheat it but it will not have the same fluffy texture.
Do I need to use a cast iron skillet?
No, you can use a casserole pan or any oven safe pan. I prefer the cast iron because of the heat distribution if made in another pan make sure the center is completly cooked through by inserting a toothpick and it comes out clean before serving.
