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?

This looks divine!!
This Dutch baby is beautiful!! Love this recipe!
This looks oh so good.
I love Dutch baby pancakes and the flavors in this one sounds so amazing. Especially the streusel!
What a great idea for a Dutch baby Tieghan!! Such an awesome breakfast treat for around the holidays!
Dutch babies are my favorite variation of pancake! This sweet potato pie one looks amazing! I honestly like sweet potato pie better than pumpkin pie!!!

I’ve never heard of Dutch babies! Very interesting. Thanks for the recipe!
Dutch babies have been on my to do list for longer than I care to admit, and still I have shyed away from cooking them, simply because I don’t like pancakes and am afraid these will taste the same…

Ruth – I think they taste like a cross between a pancake and a crepe. We usually bake ours and cut them like a pizza and serve them with fresh berries and a sprinkle of powdered sugar or drizzle of agave nectar (or both!). The batter is not sweet by itself, but it forms a wonderful base for whatever toppings you want to add.
YES! This is right on and your families Dutch baby sounds delish! 🙂
Hey Ruth! These are like and extra airy pancake, kind of doughy. So pretty pancake like. Let me know if you have questions. Thank you! 🙂
This looks delicious!
I never tried Dutch babies before but this recipe looks delicious. I should try next weekend. Thank you for the awesome recipe!
Dutch babies have always intimidated me – every time I’ve edited the pancake feed and come across one, it’s been impossible not to drool and be in total awe of them – and this one is no exception. The fact that you whipped this beaut up in a blender is total motivation for me to try my hand at one – thanks Tieghan!
Great recipe! Sounds delicious! Looking forward to the rest of your festive recipes!
Yeah! This sounds incredible! Using sweet potatoes in a dutch baby is genius!
Love this recipe, but I think I need a nice Staub pan like that before I attempt to make Dutch babies ?
normally i just stick to plain dutch babies with powdered sugar and lemon, but this sounds so cozy and perfect for fall! plus, that candied pecan streusel sounds like the best way to add a bit of crunch (:
