A giant oven baked dutch baby pancake full of fresh apricots and raspberries.
After a long winter full of apples and oranges my girls were delighted to see apricots in our fruit bowl. They’ve been eating them by the handful, but I managed to put a few aside so that I could make this apricot raspberry dutch baby pancake for breakfast one morning. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I get tired of standing at the stove flipping endless amounts of pancakes. This dutch baby is one giant pancake that bakes in the oven – no flipping required!
The apricots are the star of the show here but I also added a handful of raspberries for fun. If you don’t have raspberries, blueberries would also be great. The batter for the dutch baby pancake is made in the blender, it doesn’t get much easier than that!
This apricot raspberry dutch baby pancake comes out of the oven impressively puffy, but make sure to serve it right away because it will deflate as it cools. It’s perfect with a sprinkling of powdered sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup and for a special occasion you can add a dollop of whipped cream on top. I can’t wait to make this again soon with more awesome summer fruit!

I would love this for breakfast! Your pictures are beautiful and love the peach and raspberry combination. I bet these are refreshing and tasty at the same time, perfect for summer gathering or picnic as well.

These APRICOT RASPBERRY DUTCH BABY PANCAKE look STUNNING!
I wouldn’t just have them at a zoo
I’d have them on a carousel
In the park
on the sidewalk
At the museum
At the Museum of Boring History
At a rock concert
At a musical, where Valjean is singing about his liberation from hardship
During the fall of the Roman empire
In bed
Whilst watching Cutthroat Kitchen
In my sleep
I want these pancakes all day
And it’s all thanks to YOU

I love fruit so much! I could eat it all day! This looks amazing!
holy smokes, this looks incredible! Is it super sweet? I can’t wait to make this!! Thanks for sharing!
Nope, not super sweet at all, you can control the sweetness level at the end by the amount of syrup/powdered sugar you put on top!
Miss Sara, you have me at Dutch Baby! I just went back to my younger years when my grandmother used to make these all the time. Such a wonderful comfort food moment, great brunches and so so good. I am motivated to actually do one myself now. My grandmother is no longer alive, but I need to keep the memories alive and bake.
Yummy recipe 🙂
Wow, amazing. I’ve never used our cast iron skillet to make anything for breakfast. We love our weekend pancakes and waffles around here so I’ll definitely have to give this a try. My husband will get a kick out of getting to use his cast iron skillet, though. One of his favorite possessions 🙂 Thanks for this! -Misty
Oh my goodness this sounds heavenly…absolutely adore the peach and raspberry combination!
I’ve done the Dutch Pancakes before but not with this yummy combo! I’d love to try it this weekend though! YUM! xo Nic

Oh man, these look DELICIOUS! I want to eat one right now! I’ve been having a bit of a dutch baby obsession, and I am SO going to try this one out!
This looks ridiculously delicious. I, too, have three small kids so the name of your site grabbed my attention right away. I call our family a circus all the time, but a zoo’s not far off!
This looks really good! My kids are picky about raspberries but I’d like to try them with this – maybe they’d like it with the apricots
So gorgeous and so easy! I love how you used the apricots here. And I am not a fan of flipping pancakes either. I’d much rather make mine in a cast iron skillet like this! 🙂
I love dutch babies and this is hands down the most pretty one I’ve seen in a long time! 😉
I love Dutch babies! I love the combo of apricot and raspberry. So delicious!
