Ingredients

Scale

Pumpkin Base

  • 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Crisp Topping

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pumpkin base: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  2. Spread the pumpkin base: Transfer the pumpkin mixture into a greased 8×8 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly to create a uniform layer.
  3. Make the crisp topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture is evenly moistened and crumbly.
  4. Top the pumpkin base: Evenly sprinkle the oat crisp mixture over the pumpkin layer, ensuring full coverage for a crunchy topping.
  5. Bake the pumpkin crisp: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pumpkin layer is bubbly around the edges.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature, optionally served with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Use canned pumpkin puree or homemade pumpkin puree as preferred.
  • Adjust spices to taste or substitute with pumpkin pie spice for convenience.
  • For extra texture, consider adding chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the topping.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat individual servings in the microwave or oven before serving.
