Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan in the oven while it preheats.
In a blender, combine the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, and honey. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds until smooth and frothy.
Add the whole wheat flour, salt, and cinnamon (if using) to the blender. Blend again for another 20-30 seconds until the batter is smooth. Let it rest for a few minutes.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Immediately add the unsalted butter to the pan, swirling it around until fully melted and evenly coating the bottom and sides.
Pour the batter into the hot, buttered skillet and place it back in the oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the Dutch Baby is puffed and golden brown around the edges.
Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the Dutch Baby cool slightly. It will deflate as it cools, but this is normal.
Dust the Dutch Baby with powdered sugar and top with fresh fruit, if desired. Serve with maple syrup on the side for drizzling.
