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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Top the pumpkin base: Evenly sprinkle the oat crisp mixture over the pumpkin layer, ensuring full coverage for a crunchy topping.
- 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.
- 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.
