Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
Prepare the Pumpkin Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, applesauce, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and eggs. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Spread the Filling: Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Make the Nut Topping: In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, whole wheat flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup (or honey), cinnamon, and salt. Mix until the oats and nuts are well coated.
Top and Bake: Sprinkle the nut topping evenly over the pumpkin filling. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the filling is set.
Cool and Serve: Allow the pumpkin crisp to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a dollop of Greek yogurt or coconut whipped cream!
Notes
To make it nut-free, use seeds like pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds instead of nuts in the topping.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
This baked pumpkin crisp makes a delicious breakfast or dessert. Serve it warm for the best flavor and texture.
Feel free to add dried fruits like raisins or cranberries to the nut topping for extra sweetness and texture.
