Crock Pot Pumpkin Dessert

So a while back I was looking for pumpkin desserts and then decided what better than a Crock Pot Pumpkin Dessert? After I blogged Crock Pot S’mores Cake and it got repinned quite a lot (thanks for that BTW!) I decided that everyone loves a good crock pot dessert so here we go.

Crock Pot Pumpkin Dessert

You may have made this pumpkin dessert before in a 9×13 but the slow cooker is just easier and you can leave it alone for a few hours. It’s soft and gooey pumpkin-y on the bottom and crispy on the top and boy, oh boy did it smell good cooking! As my Husband came home that night he exclaimed how yummy it smelt and he doesn’t even like pumpkin but all that pumpkin spicey goodness made him want a piece!

We served it warm with cool whip but you can use cream and it’s the perfect coffee morning dessert which makes the crock pot the best! Wake up, add ingredients, have breakfast and take a shower and then voila………….Crock pot Pumpkin Dessert for Bible Study!

Why is pumpkin so good for you?

According to Huffington Post,

Pumpkins’ orange color is a big hint that they’re loaded with the antioxidant beta-carotene, which is one of the plant carotenoids converted to Vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is essential for healthy, glowing skin, strong eyesight, and our immune system.

Items needed for Crock Pot Pumpkin Dessert

Besides the canned pumpkin (or learn how to make it from scratch here), you’ll need some evaporated milk, yellow cake mix, and other ingredients I’m sure you have. This is my fave size of crockpot for recipes like this and isn’t it super cute to boot?
