I just HAD to make these after seeing them on Heavenly Homemakers I made some modifications. Mainly made them dairy free, and didn’t use oats (since my youngest seems to have an aversion!).
A delightful autumn dessert!

oh yum. I may have to actually bake now, today.

Carissa White says
How many cups are in a can of pumpkin – I don’t have any cans but I do have enough whole pumpkins??? Thank you,
Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom says
@Carissa White,
15 oz can is about 1.5 cups of pumpkin
Alyssa says
Cool recipe, but it has butter in it, which is dairy. Instead of butter, you could use Earth Balance. That’s dairy free.
Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom says
@Alyssa,
I use dairy-free smart balance for all butter substitutes.

recipe looks great. Your blog directs us to Amy’s List for the original recipe, but I can’t match your recipe to one on that site. Can you please tell me which recipe your modified? I love oatmeal and wanted to see the version with it added.
Thanks,

@Cathy,

Cathy says
thanks for pointing me to the right one. I did look at that recipe but didn’t realize it was the one you uses as it calls for 1 cup heavy whipping cream in the filling and yours above mentions 12 oz evaporated milk in the original.
After rereading the original, I think we would like yours better. But, I’ll add a little oatmeal to the crust.
Thanks Again &
Hope Your Day is a Happy One!

Keep the layout you have ‘ One of the quickest ways to increase the cost
of a kitchen remodel is by changing up the layout. Some family members may be
sitting in the living room, children are in the family room and others are in the kitchen creating the meal.
I want you to stop before you do this and first identify important project steps.
