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!

This was a really great recipe, but I felt it could use with more peaches. Next time I make it, I might try 1.5 peaches.
I also made some changes so that I don’t have to use as many eggs and butter:
(my skillet is approximately 11 inches)
For the batter:
– 3 eggs
– 1/2 cup flour
– 2/3rds cup milk
– 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
(the only reason I didn’t add cinnamon is because my husband is not a fan… but I love it!)
I feel like reducing the amount of flour makes your dutch baby less dense and more fluffy. I also don’t add any butter into the batter because whatever butter was used to cook the peaches usually suffices.
It went deliciously with some maple syrup!
Thank you for the recipe.
Thank you so much for trying this, Mariyam! I am glad it turned out so well for you! xTieghan
Hi – This sounds great! I’m eager to make this … I’m not sure if you’ll see this question a couple years after the fact, but just in case: Does the recipe call for just ONE peach? I ask because it looks to me as though there are more slices in the photo than from just one peach. Thanks!
Hey Paula,
Yes I just used one peach but it was very thinly sliced, you can always use more too. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
The recipe is easy and SO GOOD! It was a big hit with the whole fam!
Love that! Thank you Lexi! xTieghan
I just got the 25lb crate of Peach Truck peaches, and have been doing all thing peach! I made this, but used cardamom instead of cinnamon (I am weird, I am not a huge cinnamon fan), and this was AMAZING!!! I wonder if I can make a few more and freeze??
Hey Christina,
Thanks for giving the recipe a try! Iv’e honestly never froze a dutch baby so I am not sure how that would work. I think you would be disappointed in the texture after freezing. I hope this helps! xTieghan
so easy and SO YUMMY. MAKE THIS NOW.
Yes!! Thank you Katelin! xTieghan
This turned out awesome! The whole family loved it. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Rebekah! I am so happy to hear that! xTieghan
This was FANTASTIC! We had a house full of overnight guests and everyone was oohing and aahing over this! Everyone asked for the recipe. It was so easy with such little effort, (you don’t even have to peel the peaches!!). I highly, highly recommend this recipe. Also, there’s a few of these receipts similar online but this one has the right balance of egg to flour to sweet that it doesn’t leave you confused on what exactly it is that’s you’re eating.
That is so amazing! I am really glad everyone enjoyed this recipe Brittany! xTieghan
Wow amazing delicious ?
Thank you Mars! xTieghan
Could we use gluten free flour instead?
Hey Kimberly! I have never made this with GF flour so I can’t really say how it will turn out. If you do try it, I recommend Cup4Cup flour. Please let me know if you have any other questions and how it turns out. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you! xTieghan
Loved this for a Sunday brunch addition to traditional eggs and bacon. I made mine in a 10″ skillet. It turned out thicker than other dutch babies that I’ve made, but it was still very tasty. I used half of the cinnamon sugar on top and liked that it wasn’t overly sweet.
Such a great brunch! Thank you for trying this recipe Victoria! xTieghan
Oh my. This. Is. Delicious! I made it this morning and immediately after my last bite said, “I must write a review about this!” It is by far the best Dutch baby I’ve ever had, and SO quick and easy to make! I’m currently planning a brunch at my house next weekend so I can make it again and show it off to my friends. Thank you for this fabulous recipe!
I am so glad you did and I am so glad to hear that this turned out so well! Thank you so much Bethany! xTieghan
Can you make this with a glass pie plate if you don’t have a cast iron skillet? This looks amazing!
Hey Lauren! Yes, you can use a glass pie plate. You might not get ass much “fluff”, but it will still be delicious! Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you! xTieghan
This was by far the best recipe for a Dutch Baby I have ever tried to make! I make breakfast for my boyfriend and I on Sunday’s and this recipe was such a treat! The last time I tried to make an apple Dutch Baby and it turned out rubbery and heavy. Yours turned out quite the opposite, thank you thank you thank you! I will be using this recipe from now on. I’m also ordering your fabulous cook book!
