pumpkin crunch
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.

How To Make pumpkin crunch
-
Step 1Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
-
Step 2Mix 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.
-
Step 3Slowly 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.
-
Step 4Mix together pumpkin, cool whip, vanilla extract and cinnamon in another bowl.
-
Step 5Grease 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)
-
Step 6Spoon a heaping spoonful of the pumpkin mixture into each cupcake section.
-
Step 7Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the tops of the sections.
-
Step 8Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the oats are starting to brown.
