Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and both sugars (brown and granulated). Whisk until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk.
- Once combined, gently fold in the chopped pecans.
- In a medium bowl, combine the corn syrup and remaining chopped pecans. Optionally, add an additional 1/4 cup of brown sugar for a sweeter filling.
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Pour the batter into the dish and spread evenly.
- Spoon the pecan filling over the batter without stirring.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow to cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a sweeter filling, consider adding more brown sugar to the corn syrup mixture.
- Keep an eye on the cobbler during the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
- Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for the best experience.
