Elevate your baked goods with this *Healthier Pumpkin Streusel Topping*, a wholesome twist on a classic favorite. Made with nutrient-packed ingredients like old-fashioned rolled oats, whole wheat flour, and pure pumpkin puree, this streusel delivers a satisfying crunch and warm, autumnal flavor without the guilt. A touch of melted coconut oil and a hint of cinnamon tie together the earthy sweetness, while optional chopped pecans add a delightful nutty texture. Quick and easy to prepare in just 10 minutes, this versatile topping is perfect for muffins, breads, or even crisp desserts. Its rich golden hue and slightly crumbly texture make it an irresistible finishing touch for your fall-inspired baking.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture is moistened and forms a crumbly texture. If adding pecans, fold them in at this step.
Use the streusel topping immediately by sprinkling it evenly over baked goods, such as muffins or bread, before baking.
Bake the finished product according to the recipe directions for the base item (e.g., muffins or bread). The streusel will toast and crisp up as it bakes, adding a delicious crunch.
