You guys, happy November!!
Still cannot believe this day is here, but it is, and that means it’s Thanksgiving time! So pumped. Anyone with me?
I spent some time on Sunday night doing a little recipe research for Turkey Day, but I’d also like to know what you guys want to see this year. I am leaning towards sharing a few sides, some easy appetizers and a fun drink. Oh, and obviously plenty of desserts…pies and cookies will all be coming your way! Of course I’ll also focus on some easy dinners that we can all enjoy leading up to the big day. How does that sound? Thanksgiving for me is all about the traditional Turkey Day menu. I always make the same turkey recipe and then play around (just a little) with the sides and desserts. In general though, you’ll always see mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, roasted veggies, soup, stuffing, and at least two to three desserts. For as much as I love a super creative recipe, it’s not something I focus on for Thanksgiving. I am a traditions girl all the way. But please, let me know if there’s something you are dying to see! 🙂
Soo anyway, aside from all the Thanksgiving planning and Halloween festivities of the weekend, I also created this fun Sweet Potato Pie Dutch Baby!! I’m not sure if you guys know this, but over here, we kind of have a thing for Dutch Babies. So when the thought came to mind to create a sweet potato pie Dutch Baby I had to make it right away. Obviously, I knew it needed to be shared immediately.
I mean, this is just one of those recipes you NEED to be making from now through Thanksgiving, when sweet potatoes are basically everywhere.
I had some roasted sweet potatoes leftover in my fridge from an upcoming recipe you’ll be seeing soon. I was just going to make a soup, but then something sweet, buttery and doughy sounded really good! Thirty minutes later I had mom over and we were sharing one big Dutch Baby for our Saturday Brunch. It was perfection, and when I realized it was perfection I also realized I needed to make another one, photograph it, and share it with you all, ASAP. Yes, two Dutch Babies in one day.
The base of this fluffy pancake tastes just like a sweet potato pie, cinnamony, with a pinch of nutmeg and delicious sweet potato flavors. I used Bob’s Red Mill All-Purpose Flour to create the perfect light and airy Dutch Baby. Then I topped the pie off with a maple whipped cream, candied pecans, and a hefty drizzle of both maple syrup and browned butter.
One of my favorite things about Dutch Babies, or German Pancakes as some call them, is that they are truly one of the easiest things to prepare. Just add everything to a blender, blend away, and then pour into a skillet and bake. Literally as simple at that. Perfect for easy holiday entertaining…aka Thanksgiving breakfast! Yes, I am totally one of those people who needs Thanksgiving breakfast. Although my family eats Thanksgiving dinner at a more “normal” time, around seven or eight, a breakfast or brunch is still needed to hold us over. We need some energy before our annual hike to cut down our Christmas tree!
Point is, breakfast is needed!
PS. I’d say this is a pretty perfect way to kick off November, don’t you think?

Candied pecan streusel. Maple whipped cream. This dutch baby is just scrumptious! My whole family scarfed it down and clamored for more 2 days later.
Thats amazing! Thank you!
I was waiting for a cool day here in Oahu in order to turn my oven on. Had my sweet potato already roasted! It was 72 degrees this morning so I went for it! Yum! We loved it! I will make this again for company and maybe on Christmas morning! I used coconut milk, fresh berries and a little maple syrup. November 19, 2017
Yum! Thank you Ellie!
I have yet to try Dutch babies! The fact that you’ve added sweet potato pie filling in this recipe makes it even BETTER. 😀
