Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 15 ounces (425 grams) pumpkin puree
- 2 eggs
- 12 ounces (354 milliliters) evaporated milk
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup (200 grams) sugar
- 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (90 grams) oats
- 1 cup (220 grams) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Seasonings and Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter
Instructions
- Grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and prepare for the pumpkin base.
- Whisk pumpkin puree, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, eggs, and evaporated milk until completely smooth and well-blended.
- Transfer the creamy pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Create the crisp topping by combining flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a separate mixing bowl.
- Using a pastry cutter or fork, incorporate cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture forms rough, uneven crumbs with a sandy texture.
- Generously distribute the crumbly oat topping across the entire surface of the pumpkin base, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place the dish in a preheated oven at 350F (175C) and bake for 40-45 minutes, watching for a golden-brown topping and a firm, set pumpkin filling.
- Remove from oven and allow the crisp to cool for 10-15 minutes, which helps it set and makes serving easier.
- Slice and serve warm, optionally garnishing with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Use fresh pumpkin puree for an enhanced, rich flavor that elevates the entire dessert.
- Swap butter with coconut oil to make this recipe dairy-free and add a subtle tropical hint.
- Control sweetness by reducing sugar or using alternative sweeteners like maple syrup or stevia for a healthier version.
- Toast the oats before mixing to develop a deeper, nuttier crunch that adds complexity to the crisp’s texture.
