Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/4 cup vegan butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray or additional vegan butter.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Mix thoroughly until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the pumpkin mixture.
- Spread the spiced pumpkin mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a smooth base layer.
- In a separate large bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, and chopped pecans. Mix dry ingredients until well incorporated.
- Pour melted vegan butter over the dry ingredient mixture and stir until the ingredients form a crumbly, slightly clumpy topping.
- Carefully sprinkle the gingerbread pecan crumble topping evenly over the pumpkin base, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the edges are slightly crispy.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes to allow the crumble to set and flavors to meld together.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vegan vanilla ice cream or whipped coconut cream for added indulgence.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality pumpkin puree for the most authentic flavor. If using canned, opt for 100% pure pumpkin.
- Toast the pecans before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor and add extra depth to the crumble topping.
- For a perfectly crisp topping, ensure your melted vegan butter is evenly distributed and the crumble mixture has a slightly clumpy texture.
- Allow the crumble to cool for at least 10-15 minutes after baking to help it set and develop a more cohesive texture.
- For an extra indulgent touch, serve warm with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped coconut cream.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven to maintain the crisp texture.
