Vanilla + Lime Dutch Baby with Fresh Mango

Say goodbye to standing over the stove cooking pancake after pancake – serve up a Dutch baby instead! This big, fluffy pancakes flavored with vanilla and lime zest is baked in one pan and serves in slices. They’re perfect for breakfast, dinner, or dessert!

Once in a while, laziness can have it’s rewards.

I had every intention of making waffles for dinner the other night, but it had been a long week and I was exhausted. Honestly, I was dreading making them. On my way home from work, the idea of a Dutch baby pancake popped into my head. An easy to make batter that bakes up in one pan (no standing over the waffle iron!) definitely sounded more appealing so I quickly changed my plans.

I’m glad I did, because this vanilla and lime Dutch baby was so much fun! If you’ve never made a Dutch baby, don’t worry – they might look fancy but they’re super easy to make.Grab one pan, one bowl, and a handful of basic ingredients and you’re on your way!

Dutch babies are giant baked pancakes with a eggy, crepe-like batter. The sides puff up in the oven – it looks totally wild and is one of the most satisfying kitchen experiences ever. Kids would totally get a kick out of it. The crater that forms in the middle is perfect for filling with your favorite fresh fruit. Since my pancake was flavored with vanilla and lime, I kept with the tropical feel and filled it with fresh mango slices. My mangoes were super sweet but if yours aren’t you can dust your pancake with powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey.

I was inspired to go with the vanilla + lime flavor because Silk asked me to try their new chocolate and vanilla cashew milks. They’re both delicious, but I’ve been appreciating vanilla more and more as I’ve gotten older and that one is my favorite – especially for cooking (and for my coffee!) It’s super creamy and sweet, with a strong vanilla flavor that reminds me of melted ice cream. It adds tons of vanilla flavor to this Dutch baby, without having to add additional vanilla extract. If you substitute coconut oil or butter alternative for the butter, the Dutch baby is also dairy free.
