This keto pumpkin cobbler is downright amazing. It’s a celebration of fall flavors, with real pumpkin and your favorite spices.
Pumpkin Cobbler
Have you ever made a fruit cobbler before? You basically add fruity pie filling to a baking dish and top it with raw cake batter.
Well, that’s the basic idea behind this sweet pumpkin cobbler, too. There are a few differences, though.
Instead of topping the filling with cake batter, I used sweetened and spiced crushed pecans. Yup, no cake batter here!
It’s more of a crumb topping than a cake-like one. A cross between a pumpkin cake and a pumpkin pie.
The crumb topping reminds me of a coffee cake. All in all, it’s an absolute treat that will become one of your favorite desserts.
A pure treat for pumpkin-lovers like me!
Keto Cobbler
I’ve been thinking a lot about making more keto cobbler recipes. The last time I made one was when I made a savory Keto TikTok Chicken Cobbler.
That’s a delicious dinner recipe, but cobblers are known to be sweet treats, so I knew I needed to make a dessert version.
The base of the cobbler is made with almond flour, pumpkin pie spices, and real pumpkin puree. This is a dream come true for pumpkin-lovers.
It’s part cake, part pie, and even has a bit of pecan pie added on top.
Pumpkin Dessert
I love making pumpkin desserts! Sure there are a lot of savory recipes you can make with pumpkins, but nothing beats the flavor of fresh low-carb pumpkin pecan cheesecake or a low-carb pumpkin spice latte.
If you’re not a fan of super-sweet or overly rich desserts, then you’ll still enjoy the pumpkin cobbler. Since the bottom cake layer is made with almond flour, it prevents the flavor from being too rich.
If you want to cut the sweetness down even more, then cut the brown sugar substitute down to just 1/3 of a cup instead of 1/2 a cup. It will still taste amazing, even if they are lightly sweetened.
Fall Dessert
What are your favorite fall desserts? Pumpkins aren’t the only flavor that you can associate with fall.
If you like apples, then make some keto apple fritter cookies. Cinnamon is a really popular fall spice, so a slice of keto cinnamon brown sugar zucchini cake fits in perfectly.
Some other desserts that will taste perfect with the pumpkin cobbler include keto pumpkin cinnamon muffins and keto chocolate pecan pie.
Pecans are another classic fall or winter ingredient that you’ll find in a lot of fun desserts.
How To Store Cobbler
This keto pumpkin cobbler tastes the best when it is hot and fresh out of the oven. I don’t recommend trying to make it ahead of time because the filling will soften in the refrigerator and the topping won’t be nearly as crispy.
If you want to save leftovers, put them in an airtight container and put them in the refrigerator. I suggest eating the cobbler within a day or two.
