Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15 oz / 425 g) pumpkin puree, canned
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup evaporated milk (or heavy cream)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup old-fashioned oats
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup chopped pecans (optional)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp ginger
- ¼ tsp cloves
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preparation: Coat a 9×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray and preheat the oven to 350F (175C), establishing the foundation for a delectable dessert.
- Pumpkin Base Creation: Whisk pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, granulated and brown sugars, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves into a smooth, harmonious blend that promises rich, autumnal flavors.
- Layer Formation: Pour the velvety pumpkin mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly to create a luscious base for the crisp topping.
- Topping Assembly: Combine flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped pecans, then drizzle melted butter over the dry ingredients, gently mixing until a crumbly, textured topping emerges.
- Baking Process: Sprinkle the pecan-infused crisp topping completely over the pumpkin layer and bake for 40-45 minutes, watching for a golden-brown surface and a firm, set center that indicates perfect doneness.
- Cooling and Serving: Allow the dessert to rest for 15 minutes after removing from the oven, letting the layers meld and flavors intensify, then serve warm with an optional garnish of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an indulgent finale.
Notes
- Spice Balance: Adjust spice quantities to personal taste, but maintain the harmony between cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves for authentic pumpkin dessert flavor.
- Texture Perfection: Mix crisp topping gently to avoid over-compacting, ensuring a light, crumbly texture that delivers satisfying crunch when baked.
- Moisture Control: Pat pumpkin puree with paper towel if extra watery to prevent soggy bottom and maintain ideal dessert consistency.
- Dietary Adaptation: Swap regular flour with gluten-free blend, use coconut sugar instead of granulated sugar, and replace butter with plant-based alternative for vegan and gluten-sensitive variations.
