Description

A cozy fall dessert with a creamy pumpkin base and crunchy oat topping. Easy to make, crowd-pleasing, and full of warm pumpkin spice flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats

  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

  2. In a bowl, mix pumpkin puree with pumpkin pie spice until smooth. Spread evenly in the prepared dish.

  3. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the pumpkin layer, followed by the oats. Do not stir.

  4. Top with brown sugar and drizzle the melted butter evenly over the surface.

  5. If using, scatter nuts across the top.

  6. Bake for 45–55 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the pumpkin layer is set.

  7. Let cool for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

Notes

Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or enjoy chilled. Add a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
