Ingredients
Scale
Pumpkin and Spices:
- 1 can (15 ounces / 425 grams) pumpkin puree
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 large eggs
Topping and Base:
- 1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (90 grams) old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup (220 grams) brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Spices and Seasoning:
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) evaporated milk
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F, preparing a 9×13-inch baking dish with a light coating of grease to prevent sticking.
- Create the crisp topping by blending melted butter with brown sugar, flour, oats, warming spices, and salt until the mixture develops a coarse, crumbly texture.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, eggs, and evaporated milk until the filling transforms into a silky, uniform consistency.
- Carefully transfer the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish, ensuring an even distribution across the surface.
- Generously scatter the prepared crumb mixture over the pumpkin filling, covering the entire surface with a uniform layer.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, watching for a golden-brown topping and a set, slightly firm filling.
- Remove from the oven and allow the dessert to rest and slightly cool for optimal serving, which can be enjoyed warm or at ambient temperature.
Notes
- Swap out butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free version that maintains the rich, crispy topping texture.
- Use gluten-free flour and certified gluten-free oats to make this dessert completely gluten-free without compromising taste.
- Reduce sugar by using monk fruit sweetener or stevia for a lower-calorie, diabetic-friendly alternative that still delivers delicious autumn flavors.
- Add a sprinkle of toasted pecans or pumpkin seeds on top for extra crunch and nutty depth that elevates the dessert’s complexity.
