Q: Can I make pecan pie cobbler without corn syrup?

Yes! Substitute with maple syrup, honey, or agave. The texture may change slightly, but the flavor will still be delicious

Q: Is pecan pie cobbler healthier than traditional pecan pie?

It can be! Use natural sweeteners, reduce the sugar, and add oats or whole wheat flour for a fiber boost.

Q: How do I know when it’s done baking?

The top should be golden brown and mostly firm. If the center jiggles a lot, give it 5–10 more minutes.

Q: Can I use a store-bought pie crust for the base?

This recipe uses a batter base, but if you prefer pie crust, you can press one into the bottom of the dish before adding the batter.

Q: How long can I leave it out at room temperature?

No more than 2 hours. After that, cover and refrigerate for freshness and safety.

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Mix the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together self-rising flour, milk, and melted butter until smooth. Pour the batter evenly into the greased baking dish. Do not stir after pouring.
Prepare the Filling: In a separate large bowl, combine brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth, then stir in the chopped pecans.
Layer the Mixture: Carefully pour the pecan filling over the batter in the dish. Again, do not stir—the layers will bake into the perfect cobbler texture.
Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set. Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, toast the pecans before mixing them in. To serve, pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. This cobbler can also be made ahead and gently reheated in the oven or microwave. For a nut-free version, substitute chopped pretzels or omit entirely.
