Pumpkin Crunch image

An easy way to incorporate the seasonal flavors. The pumpkin is the biggest hit, but using a fruit preserve instead of the pumpkin filling makes a nice summer crunch as well.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 c butter, softened
1 c brown sugar, lightly packed
1 1/2 c rolled oats
1 1/2 c flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 can(s) pumpkin
1 1/2 c cool whip
3 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • 2. Mix the butter and brown sugar together in a bowl with an electric mixer. Then mix rolled oats, flour, salt and baking powder in another bowl.
  • 3. Slowly add the dry to the wet while continually mixing. It will feel a little dry, but when you pack it into the pan it'll be fine.
  • 4. Mix together pumpkin, cool whip, vanilla extract and cinnamon in another bowl.
  • 5. Grease a cupcake pan and pack some of the crust mixture into the bottom of each cupcake section. Only use about 3/4 the mixture on the bottom layer. (You can also use a 9x13 pan if you want it more like crunch bars, rather than individual portions)
  • 6. Spoon a heaping spoonful of the pumpkin mixture into each cupcake section.
  • 7. Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the tops of the sections.
  • 8. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the oats are starting to brown.
