# Ingredient List:
→ Pumpkin Filling
01 - 1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin purée
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1 cup evaporated milk
04 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
05 - 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
06 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
07 - 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
08 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
09 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
10 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Crisp Topping
11 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
12 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
13 - 2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
14 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
15 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
16 - 1/3 cup chopped pecans (optional)
# How to Make:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, eggs, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, salt, and vanilla extract until completely smooth. Pour the filling into the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, packed brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture forms coarse, crumbly clusters. Fold in the chopped pecans if using.
04 - Scatter the crisp topping evenly over the pumpkin filling. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the filling is set and the topping is deep golden brown.
05 - Allow the dessert to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or chilled, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It gives you every single flavor of pumpkin pie without the stress of making a crust from scratch.
- The oat topping turns golden and crunchy while the pumpkin layer stays soft and custardy underneath, and that contrast is genuinely addictive.
02 -
- Do not skip the cooling time because the filling needs those 20 minutes to finish setting up, and cutting too early gives you a soupy mess.
- Taste your spices before adding them because old cinnamon loses its punch, and weak spices mean a flat tasting filling.
03 -
- For the crunchiest topping, let the baked crisp cool uncovered because covering it traps steam and softens the oats.
- A light sprinkle of flaky sea salt over the top right before serving makes the spices and sweetness taste even more vibrant.
