Browned Butter Cinnamon Peach Dutch Baby. Light, airy, and swirled with sweet peaches, brown butter, and cinnamon sugar. This takes almost no time to make, is super simple, and so incredibly delicious. Nothing beats this skillet Dutch baby pancake (morning, afternoon, or night), it’s my favorite dutch baby of the summer, and I’m confident will soon be yours too!
I know, this recipe is such a typical HBH recipe, but you guys? I just could not help myself. When the thought of a browned butter, cinnamon, and peach filled Dutch baby came to mind a few weeks ago, I knew I had to make it, and soon. I really cannot even begin to explain just how good this Dutch baby pancake is.
Let’s put it this way, if I could, I would be making this thrice weekly until peach season is over. It’s melt in your mouth delicious and yes, it’s worth turning the oven on for, I promise.
And that’s coming from someone who’s kitchen is currently close to eighty degrees at ten o’clock pm. Yes, it’s still almost eighty degrees in here and yes, I’d still turn my oven on for this pancake.
If you happen to own a copy of the Half Baked Harvest Cookbook, than you know I have my Nonnie’s Dutch Baby recipe hidden within the breakfast chapter. It’s one of my favorite recipes within the HBH cookbook, not only because it is so good, but because it means so much to me. If you haven’t made it yet, you should.
Some of you may remember that my Nonnie passed away a year ago this August. She was such an important person in my life and I miss her so much. Recently I have been thinking a lot about her, and how much I miss our semi weekly phone calls. I’d usually call her once or twice a week a just to catch up on what’s been happening. She’d ask me about anything and everything, and I just miss those conversations and time spent with her.
Whenever I find myself missing her, I have found it comforting to make one of her recipes. I have a few that I know like the back of my hand, her Dutch baby being one of those recipes.
Anyway, I knew I really wanted (no, more like really needed) to make her Dutch baby, but I was also wanted to create something new and fresh for summer.
Enter in this peachy Dutch baby that I one hundred percent know Nonnie would love.
It’s basically Nonnie’s base dutch baby recipe, but with the addition of a little browned butter, a little cinnamon, and lots of sweet summer peaches.
If you’re new to Dutch Babies, get excited.
Dutch babies are the easiest thing to make, and they look so impressive when you pull them out of the oven.
Nothing can compare to a hot Dutch baby topped with cream and maple. It’s the perfect breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon snack, breakfast for dinner, and even late night indulgence kind of recipe.
Some important details.
All delicious Dutch baby pancakes start with a good cast iron skillet. I use my Staub skillet…of course.
The skillet gets thrown into a screaming hot oven with sliced up peaches and butter. The butter browns and begins to cook and caramelize the peaches. You see? It’s already good.
While that’s happening in the oven, make the batter. It’s a simple mix of milk, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and a little more butter. Pull the hot skillet, with the now browned butter and peaches, out of the oven and immediately pour in the batter. Return the skillet to the oven and cook for twenty minutes until the pancake is puffy and golden brown.
As soon as it comes out of the oven, sprinkle the top with a little cinnamon sugar and then serve it warm with a scoop of whipped cream, more butter, and or maple syrup – whatever your heart desires. I kind of love this simple, with just butter and maple.
Eat and experience this summery Dutch babies deliciousness.
My mouth is watering, I so wish this was in front of me now…
The good news for you and me is that it’s Friday. We have two full days off from work, school, or whatever your life stresses and responsibilities happen to be, to make this pretty recipe.
I’m already planning it for dinner tonight because it’s been such a full a week and I really I just need this.
You do too. Enjoy and happy Friday!

Hi from kamloops BC Canada,
I just made this recipe for the first time today. It puffed up beautifully, and my husband à nd I ate the whole dish for lunch! There wasn’t one crumb left. It was very good and a breeze to make. Thanks for the great recipe, I will kèep this one to make for the grandbabies, and hopefully they will have more happy memories of Nana’s kitchen.
I am so glad you both loved this Kristie! Thank you so much!
AWESOME, First Dutch baby that I ever made, and tasted! AAAAAAAAAAAA+++++++++++++++++YUM!
Thank you so much Darren!
My grandma (Babu) and I used to talk multiple times a week as well and I miss those talks so much (she passed away 2 years ago). I think of her every time I’m in the kitchen. I love that you made this dutch baby in honor of your Nonnie 🙂
Awh that is so sweet! I am glad being in the kitchen reminds you of her!
Made this for breakfast today. It didn’t puff as much as other Dutch babies I’ve made, but it was delicious! I accidentally put all of the cinnamon into the batter (oops, didn’t read ahead), but it was great! I like that it wasn’t too sweet to account for the sweetness of the fruit, and so we could all add toppings to our liking.
I am so glad you loved this Sarah! Thank you so much!
A perfect summer breakfast!
Thanks Julie!
Prettiest Dutch baby ever – love the brown butter and peaches together!
Thank you Laura!
Oh my god this was delicious. The peaches were amazing and my toddler picked them all out and ate them. The burned edges of the pancake were the best, they disintegrated into my mouth like caramel iced cotton candy. I had to stop myself from eating the entire thing in one sitting. It as delicious with maple syrup. Next time I will use whipped cream for sure.
I am so glad you loved this! Thank you so much!
My mom started making Dutch babies about a year ago. And it always seemed like hers were hit or miss whether or not they’d puff up. After I got your cookbook, I started making them myself at my house. And I have had a beautiful puffed Dutch baby every single time!!! I love this recipe! The browned butter adds great depth. And peaches and cinnamon and sugar have always been a summer time staple in central Illinois. Great way to start my day. Thank you Tieghan.
Wow I am so happy to hear that! Thank you so much! I hope you are absolutely loving the recipes from the cookbook!
Please disregard my last comment please!! I realized I forgot the milk!!
Hi Maria! I hope you try this recipe again and it turns out better for you! Also, I hope you love the book! Let me know what recipes you make!
This looked so delicious so I made it today. I didn’t see if it puffed up, but when the time was up and I took it out, it was pretty flat. And kind of dense. Is that how it’s supposed to be? I didn’t have a cast iron pan so I used a regular oven proof frying pan. Did that make a difference. It was good. It just seemed drier and denser than I thought it would be. Btw, I ordered your cookbook and it comes today! Can’t wait!. Thanks!
Making this tonight for a desert. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you for the recipe.
Thank you Joyce!
Fantastic. Family loved it. So easy. Needed to use a bit higher heat but I think it’s because my oven thermometer is off on the low side.
Thank you so much CJ! I am so glad your family enjoyed this recipe!
Let me first say, that I am a proud owner of your cookbook Half Baked Harvest!! Adore you & this cookbook!! Quick question, recipe states only 1 peach, is that correct? Thanks ?
Hey deb! Yes, it is just one peach. So glad you are enjoying the cookbook. Please let me know if you have other questions. Thanks! 🙂
I made this today and it turned out great. Super easy too. I added a few fresh blueberries. Sprinkled with powdered sugar and maple syrup prior to serving. – thanks for a great recipe.
Thank you Danita! I am so glad you loved this!
