How to Make Pumpkin Pie Crunch Light Version

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Spray a 9x13 inch glass baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, combine: 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk, 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pan.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine: 1 cup (6 ounces) yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats, 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
  6. Sprinkle the cake mix, oats, and pecan mixture evenly over the pumpkin layer.
  7. Drizzle 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter over the topping.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. If the topping is browning too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
  9. Let cool completely before serving. Enjoy a slice (or two!) with a dollop of light whipped cream, if desired.
