Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.

- Set aside 1 1/2 cups of the crumble mixture.
- Press remaining crumble into the bottom of your baking dish with an extra piece of parchment paper. Press down hard with fingertips until it is one solid even layer. You can also use a small flat dish to press.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool before adding filling.
- In a large bowl add the pumpkin, butter, sugar and brown sugar. Whisk together until combined.
- Add egg, egg yolk and vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated.

- Pour the pumpkin mixture over the oat crumb bottom and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle evenly with remaining crumble.
- Bake for another 30-35 minutes until crumb topping is lightly golden.
