  • 4 tbsp butter melted
  • 2 tbsp milk

Filling

  • 15 oz (1 can) pumpkin puree

  • For the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, oats, brown sugar, melted butter, and milk in a medium bowl. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden brown.

  • Sprinkle the pecans evenly over the filling and bake for 10 to 15 minutes more or until the center is set. Transfer the dish to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the topping, mix the yogurt, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl; cover and chill until ready to serve.
  • To serve, cut into squares. Top each square with a dollop of yogurt topping.
