Tips
For the smoothest custard base, ensure the pumpkin mixture is fully whisked before pouring it into the dish. If your melted butter begins to solidify while drizzling, warm it briefly to maintain an even flow. Rolled oats give the topping extra texture and prevent it from becoming overly dense.
Pecans add a rich nuttiness, but they can be omitted without affecting structure. If you prefer a slightly firmer top, bake toward the higher end of the listed time. Watch the edges for early browning, which indicates the cake is nearly done.
