How to Make Easy Keto Pumpkin Crisp
Quick Overview
Making Easy Keto Pumpkin Crisp is a breeze! It’s all about combining flavors and baking until perfection. It’s a satisfying mix of creamy pumpkin and crispy topping that makes it hard to resist. The best part? You can have it all ready in under an hour.
Key Ingredients for Easy Keto Pumpkin Crisp
Here’s what you’ll need for this delightful dish:
- Pumpkin Puree: 15 oz can (ensure it’s 100% pure with no added sugars)
- Almond Flour: 1 cup for the topping
- Brown Sugar Substitute: 1 cup (look for a Halal-friendly brand)
- Butter: 1/2 cup (melted)
- Eggs: 2 large
- Ground Cinnamon: 1 tsp
- Nutmeg: 1/2 tsp
- Vanilla Extract: 1 tsp (Halal-certified)
- Salt: a pinch for balance
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix Pumpkin Base: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar substitute, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well-blended and smooth.
- Prepare Topping: In another bowl, combine the almond flour and melted butter. Stir until you get a crumbly mixture—this will be your crisp topping.
- Combine and Bake: Pour the pumpkin mixture into a greased baking dish (9×9 works great!). Sprinkle the almond flour topping evenly over the pumpkin layer.
- Baking Time: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until it’s set and the top has turned golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow it to cool for a few minutes, then serve warm, perhaps with a dollop of whipped cream (preferably sugar-free)!
Top Tips for Perfecting Easy Keto Pumpkin Crisp
- Substitutions: If you don’t have almond flour, you can use coconut flour, but reduce the amount to 1/4 cup, as it absorbs more moisture.
- Timing: Make sure to keep an eye on the crisp in the oven; it should be brown, but avoid over-baking it as you desire a soft and creamy inside!
- Avoiding Mistakes: Measuring your ingredients properly is key. Ensure your pumpkin puree is pure and unsweetened to keep this dish keto-friendly.
Storing and Reheating Tips
If you have leftovers (which I highly doubt after serving this deliciousness!), you can store your Easy Keto Pumpkin Crisp in an airtight container, in the refrigerator, for up to four days. If you’re looking to store it even longer, consider freezing it—just wrap it tightly in foil, and it can last for up to three months.
When it’s time to enjoy the leftover goodness, you can pop it in the oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes or until warmed through, helping to revive that fantastic crispy topping!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy making and sharing this Easy Keto Pumpkin Crisp at your next family gathering. Happy baking!
