Browned Butter Cinnamon Peach Dutch Baby.
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!

good morning to you my dear – a friend gave me the recipe for dutch babies years ago – never thought of adding fruit – we live in Arizona and frankly I have trouble finding the perfect peach – I love this “showie” recipe – my daughter sent me your website – i’ll be buy your cookbook. have a wonderful day. love, jan schoner from chandler, Arizona..
I hope you love the book and recipes in it! Thank you so much Jan!
This is perfect, I just got eggs and peaches on our farmer’s market, will make this for breakfast tomorrow and let you know!
Perfect! I hope you love this!
My grandma passed away quite young, 22 years ago. I still remember that she used too cook two meals whenever my sister and I visited – her and my favourite, respectively. I also loved her chicken fricassée. Have never attempted to make it, though. I will make this in her honour – and your grandma’s. Thank you so much.
That is so sweet! I hope you love this recipe!
My grandma passed away on Monday at 98. When I used to visit she and my grandpa we wouldn’t always have waffles. My grandma would quietly make the batter in the kitchen and then my grandpa would make a big show of pulling out the waffle iron and cooking the waffles and then he would tell everyone he made the waffles… It makes me laugh! But I will plan to make this Dutch baby in honor of my selfless grandma this weekend! Thank you for the recipe!
Hi Sarah! I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you and your family are doing well. Also, I hope you love this recipe, I am so glad you picked this to honor your grandmother.
I made it for breakfast, added a little brown sugar to the peaches during the browning process. Yum, it was perfect, my husband and me enjoyed it so much, thanks for this recipe, I will give it 5 stars and also leave a pictures on Pinterest.
I am so glad you loved this Jenny! Thank you so much!
I really need to bake this one!
I hope you love this Ruth!
What if I don’t have a cast iron skillet ?!?
You can use an square or round pie plate, about 9-10 inches, or just a 9×13 inch pyrex. Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Thanks! 🙂
I know this is close to heresy, but I don’t currently own a cast iron skillet! Is it possible to make in a cake tin without ruining it?
You can use an square or round pie plate, about 9-10 inches, or just a 9×13 inch pyrex. I am also sure a cake pan would be just fine too! Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Thanks! ?
I made this this morning. My partner and I loved it. I especially loved how easy it was to put together. This will be my go to breakfast for a crowd. Much easier and hands off than making a bunch of pancakes. Mine did turn out a little spongy though. Could I omit an egg to help with that? Or is there something I could do differently to make it a bit less spongy? Thanks.
Thank you so much Heidi! I am so glad you loved this!
Hi! Do you have a suggestion for a milk alternative that could be used for this recipe?
Hi! I would try using canned coconut milk. Please let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love this recipe! Thanks! 🙂
This was delicious and so easy! One slice just wasn’t enough. I ate almost half the pancake! Great weekend breakfast.
That is so great! I am so glad you loved this Suzanne!
We have golden raspberries ripening right now so this morning I picked a bunch and threw about a cups worth in the pan instead of peaches. It worked great and tasted amazing, just like summer! Thanks for the great recipe, I’m excited to try it once our peaches ripen!
Thank you Tiffany! I hope you love this recipe!
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!
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! 🙂
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!
Making this tonight for a desert. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you for the recipe.
Thank you Joyce!
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!
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!
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!
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!
Prettiest Dutch baby ever – love the brown butter and peaches together!
Thank you Laura!
A perfect summer breakfast!
Thanks Julie!
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!
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!
AWESOME, First Dutch baby that I ever made, and tasted! AAAAAAAAAAAA+++++++++++++++++YUM!
Thank you so much Darren!
Hi from kamloops BC Canada,
I just made this recipe for the first time today. It puffed up beautifully, and my husband ànd 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!
This was yum! A new favorite in our house.
Thank you Nicole!
I loved you nonnies Dutch baby. Your instructions were great, it turned out great. I have made other Dutch babies but they didn’t turn out this good. Thanks Chris
I am so happy to hear that! Thank you Chris!
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
Wow that is so amazing to hear! I am so glad you and your boyfriend loved this recipe, Greg! Thank you so much!

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
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
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
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
Wow amazing delicious ?
Thank you Mars! 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
This turned out awesome! The whole family loved it. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Rebekah! I am so happy to hear that! xTieghan
so easy and SO YUMMY. MAKE THIS NOW.
Yes!! Thank you Katelin! 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
The recipe is easy and SO GOOD! It was a big hit with the whole fam!
Love that! Thank you Lexi! 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
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
I make Dutch babies at least monthly as we love them! I very thinly sliced peaches and they turned into chewy fruit leather at the bottom. I tink if they were sliced 1/4″they would have been better. But bottom line is that none of my kids enjoyed this and we love peaches! I wouldn’t make again.
Hi Lindsay! I am really sorry this did not turn out well for you. Is there anything that you could have changed? I would love to help! xTieghan
Made this this Sunday morning and it was delicious!! It smelled so good we couldn’t wait for it to be done. We make your Nonni’s Dutch baby all the time, and this was perfect for peach season!
Love to hear that! Thank you Laurie! xTieghan
So easy to make! Made it for dessert tonight and it smells and tastes absolutely wonderful! So good using fresh farm peaches in the summertime. Another Tieghan recipe that’s hit a home run!
Thank you so much Cait!! xTieghan
I made this for breakfast today and it was wonderful. My husband said it was so good I could make it again. Thank you for this delicious recipe!
Thank you!! I am so glad this turned out so well for you! xTieghan
I’ve never made a dutch baby and I was certain mine wouldn’t turn out but it did! I had to sub oat milk because I didn’t have milk and it still rose up perfectly! Reminded me of an elephant ear from the fair. The only thing I wished is that I had put in two peaches instead of one!
I am so happy this turned out so well for you! Thank you!! xTieghan
Off season could I use canned peaches? I’m going to assume I would drain them, but not sure how much of a can?
Hey Tom,
Yes you could do that, I would eyeball it, but probably close to a whole can. I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Excellent, I do reduce the sugar in the topping to a teaspoon. I used a single can of peaches drained.
I’ve made it twice, the wife loves it.
It takes awhile for the butter to brown more like 8 minutes. Should the pan be preheated?
Hey Tom,
I am so glad you have been enjoying this recipe. Nope, that is great for the butter! Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
