This Pumpkin Spicy Dutch Baby is an amazing fall breakfast recipe served with maple whipped cream and an easy pumpkin cream cheese mousse!
Pumpkin Breakfast Recipe
As thins are cooling down during the fall, a delicious and comforting breakfast recipe is always appreciated in my house. This Pumpkin Spice Dutch Baby is no exception.
It’s officially pumpkin season in the Midwest. The temperatures have drastically dropped and cued all the fall goodness to be enjoyed.

Easy Pumpkin Mousse
Not only is this skillet pumpkin pancake a light and delicious way to start your morning, the toppings really put it over the edge!
The pumpkin dutch baby doesn’t have very much pumpkin in it, because it is heavy and will weight down the pancake. We spice it up with pumpkin pie spice and top it with this velvety pumpkin mouse.
The pumpkin cream cheese mousse is so easy to make, it only contains 4 ingredients and is blended together in minutes. This is what really highlights the pumpkin flavor in the dish.
Maple Whipped Cream
Last but not least is the maple brown sugar whipped cream. While you can certainly use a store bought whipped topping in a pinch, nothing compares to homemade whipped cream!
This whipped cream is sweetened with maple syrup and brown sugar and seasoned with a bit more pumpkin pie spice.
The best part of both of these toppings is that they can be whipped up so quickly that they will be done before your pumpkin dutch baby is done baking.
This whole recipe comes together in just 30 minutes!
