Got Blackberries?

Around here, when blackberry season hits, it’s hard to keep up! I love blackberries and hate letting any go to waste, so I’ve been baking with them since I was a teenager.

Blueberry Dutch babies are one of my favorite breakfasts ever, so creating a blackberry version felt like a must. It turned out to be the perfect summertime treat!

This Dutch baby is so simple to make, secretly healthy, and has become one of my favorite ways to enjoy blackberries any time of year.

What Makes this Blackberry Dutch Baby Special?

• Quick & easy homemade breakfast that’s in the oven in minutes.
• Rich, dessert-like flavor kids and adults alike absolutely love!
• Made with simple, healthy ingredients and no gluten or added sugar.

Ingredients

• Eggs – Eggs are one of the primary ingredients of the base of these pancakes and give it that delicious fluffy texture.
• Milk – Whole milk gives it the richest flavor, but you can use any type of dairy or non-dairy milk you prefer.
• Oat flour – You can use either homemade oat flour or store bought. Make sure it’s certified gluten-free!
• Blackberries – Fresh are always best, but frozen blackberries will work too,
• Cream cheese – Make sure to check the ingredients. A lot of brands have additives, so you want to make sure to get a healthy version. Bettergoods cream cheese is my favorite that I’ve tried.

Dairy-Free Option

– Use almond or coconut milk instead of regular milk
– Use coconut oil instead of butter
– Use a dairy-free cream cheese.

Tools Needed

• 15″ cast iron skillet

Step-By-Step Instructions

Step 1: First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Put the butter in the skillet and place it in the oven to melt while it’s preheating. 

Then cut the cream cheese into small chunks, about 1/2″ in size, and set them aside.

Step 2: Add the eggs, milk, oat flour, vanilla, and salt to a large mixing bowl and whisk until the mixture is smooth. 

Step 3: Once the oven is preheated, pour the batter into the skillet with the melted butter.

Step 4: Sprinkle the blackberries and chunks of cream cheese over the batter, and place the skillet in the oven.

Chef’s tip: Don’t pour the batter into the skillet until you’re ready to bake it. The hot pan can start cooking it early and lead to burnt edges.

Step 5: Bake for 30 minutes or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown. Once you remove it from the oven, the Dutch baby will slightly deflate.

Serve immediately with your favorite toppings!

Tips for Success

Let the skillet preheat in the oven – This way, the butter is completely melted and the Dutch baby will start cooking the second it hits the pan.

Give an extra quick whisk before pouring the batter – If your batter is ready before the oven has preheated, the ingredients may start to separate. Once it’s time to bake, give it another quick whisk before pouring the batter into the skillet.

Don’t open the oven door – If you want to check on your Dutch baby, turn on the oven light, but don’t open the door! This can cause it to lose its puffy texture.
