Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 can pumpkin puree (15 ounces)
- 1 can evaporated milk (12 ounces)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
For Serving
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Lightly grease the inside of a slow cooker to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Spices: Stir in pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt to infuse the pudding with warm, autumnal flavors.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder, then fold this mixture into the pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated, ensuring an even batter.
- Add Butter and Pecans: Stir melted butter into the batter for richness. If desired, fold in chopped pecans for added texture and flavor.
- Cook the Pudding: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours until the pudding is set around the edges and slightly soft in the center, indicating perfect doneness.
- Cool and Serve: Turn off the slow cooker and allow the pudding to cool slightly. Scoop into bowls and top with whipped cream if desired for a creamy finish.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar over the top before serving.
- This pudding can also be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the mixture briefly before adding it to the slow cooker.
