Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
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.
