Easy Pumpkin Crisp ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need for the creamy pumpkin layer.

• 1 15-oz can of pumpkin puree (yes, you can use homemade pumpkin puree)
• ⅔ cup sugar
• 5 ounces evaporated milk
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• ½ tsp salt

Crisp topping ingredients

• 1 cup crushed Biscoff cookies
• 1 cup oats (I use quick oats)
• ⅓ cup brown sugar
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp baking powder
• ½ cup unsalted butter softened

How to make pumpkin crisp in under an hour

Here are the step-by-step instructions.

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Prepare a 13×9 or similar-sized baking dish or casserole dish with some non-stick cooking spray.  Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, sugar, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla, pumpkin spice and salt.  Whisk to combine, or use a hand mixer.  Pour this pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish from the mixing bowl and spread evenly.  
3. In another medium-sized bowl, combine the dry ingredients. This includes crushed cookies, oats, brown sugar, baking soda and baking powder.  Stir well to combine.  Cut in the butter using two forks or a dough cutter.  The mixture should be crumbly. 
4. Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the top of the pumpkin layer.  
5. Bake in the oven for approximately 35-45 minutes or until the topping is set and the filling is bubbling.  The internal temperature of the mixture should be 175 degrees if you have a thermometer handy.  A little wiggle in the center is okay – the filling will solidify once cooled.  
6. Allow to cool slightly before serving.  It can be served warm with ice cream or whipped cream.  Also delicious served chilled!  

Storage: Store your pumpkin crisp in an airtight container for up to 3 days.  

Enjoy!

Pumpkin Crisp recipe FAQs

Yes, I have the answers to your pumpkin recipe questions. Here are a few tips to help you make the best pumpkin crisp recipe.

• If you have fresh pumpkin, go ahead and make homemade pumpkin puree. 
• Use pure pumpkin puree for this recipe, not pumpkin pie filling.
• This recipe used crushed Biscoff cookies to add some flavor variations and textures.  Other complementary ideas could be golden Oreos, gingersnaps or Nilla Wafers.
• I would say this recipe is moderately sweet. If it seems like the recipe calls for too much sugar for your tastebuds, cut it down to 1/2 cup instead of 2/3 cup of sugar.
• I’ve made this with old-fashioned oats and also with quick oats. The old-fashioned, large-flake oats didn’t seem to cook well, though.
• Preparing this easy pumpkin dessert takes about 45-50 minutes.
• Serve this easy dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. If you’re feeling decadent, drizzle caramel sauce over the scoop of ice cream.
• Other serving options include adding a dollop of heavy cream, whipped cream, or even homemade cinnamon ice cream for the perfect fall dessert.
