Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, melted butter, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Add the yellow cake mix and rolled oats to the pumpkin mixture. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. If using, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a tablespoon of brown sugar to the dry ingredients.
  • If you don’t have pecans, walnuts are a good substitute.
  • This cake is delicious served with a drizzle of caramel sauce.
