Ingredients
  • 1 large navel orange
  • 2cups fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 3Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4cup ginger-flavored kombucha or orange juice
  • 1tsp vanilla extractdivided
  • 2 large organic eggs
  • 1/3cup sprouted spelt flour
  • 3/4cup milk or unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1Tbsp unsalted butter or vegan butter
  • 3/4cup plain Greek yogurt of choice
  • 1/4cup toasted pumpkin seeds or toasted sliced almonds
Instructions
  1. Start by making cranberry orange compote. Finely zest orange rind and set aside. Cut away peel and pith from orange. Working over small bowl, cut between membranes to release orange segments into bowl before setting aside.
  2. In small saucepan, place orange zest, cranberries, maple syrup, kombucha or orange juice, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until cranberries have burst and sauce has thickened to a light jammy consistency, about 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to heatproof bowl and set aside to cool while making pancake.
  3. Place 8 or 9-inch cast iron pan on middle rack of cold oven before preheating oven to 450 F.
  4. While oven preheats, in blender, combine eggs, spelt flour, milk, salt, cinnamon, and remaining 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until very well combined (it should resemble the consistency of heavy cream). Set aside for at least 10 minutes. If you want to cut down on morning-of prep time, this batter will keep covered in the refrigerator overnight.
  5. Carefully remove hot cast iron pan from oven and add butter, swirling around to melt and coat bottom and sides. Pour in batter, transfer pan back to oven, and cook until pancake is puffed and golden, about 15 to 20 minutes. Let pancake rest for a minute in pan before transferring to serving plate.
  6. When ready to serve, stir reserved orange segments into cranberry compote. Using kitchen scissors, cut Dutch baby pancake into segments and transfer to serving plates. Top with cranberry orange compote, a dollop of yogurt, and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds or sliced almonds. Enjoy.
