A crunchy topping, made with green pumpkin seeds (pepitas), brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon. Perfect for topping pumpkin pie or ginger pumpkin custard. Keep leftovers to top ice cream, yogurt, and more.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup raw pepitas (hulled pumpkin seeds)
¼ cup rolled oats
¼ cup flour
¼ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350* F.
Melt the butter in a small glass mixing bowl by microwaving for 10-15 seconds. A few unmelted lumps are fine.
Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl, stir to mix well.
Scatter the batter over a baking sheet lined with a silicon mat or parchment paper, and bake for 5 minutes or until browned.
Notes
My streusel still looked "wet" when it had started browning. I pulled it out of the oven anyway and it turned out well. Don't let it burn.
