Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (425 g) pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) evaporated milk
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350F (175C) and coating a 9×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Whisk together pumpkin puree, both sugars, eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and autumn spices in a large mixing bowl until the mixture achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- Create the crisp topping by combining flour, rolled oats, additional sugars, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl. Work cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients using fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture develops a crumbly, uneven texture.
- Transfer the smooth pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish, ensuring an even distribution across the surface.
- Generously scatter the crumbly oat topping over the pumpkin base, covering the entire filling with a uniform layer of crisp ingredients.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, watching for a golden-brown topping and a slightly firm center that indicates complete cooking.
- Remove from the oven and allow the dessert to rest and slightly cool for 15-20 minutes, which helps the filling set and enhances the flavor profile before serving.
Notes
- Swap out butter for coconut oil to make the recipe dairy-free and add a subtle tropical hint to the dessert.
- Use gluten-free rolled oats and all-purpose flour to transform this into a celiac-friendly treat that everyone can enjoy.
- Reduce sugar content by using monk fruit sweetener or stevia for a lower-calorie version that maintains the delicious pumpkin pie crisp flavor profile.
- Enhance nutrition by adding chopped pecans or walnuts to the crisp topping, boosting protein and providing a delightful crunch that complements the soft pumpkin filling.
