Notes
For added texture, include the optional pecans in the topping.
If using fresh pumpkin purée, adjust the consistency as needed, as it may have more moisture than canned.
For gluten-free options, substitute the flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour and ensure the oats are certified gluten-free.
To store leftovers, refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
