Pumpkin dump cake (gluten-free and dairy-free)

For the past few months, I’ve been feeling pretty YOLO about things.

“Yes, we can go to the park at 7pm at night when you both need baths.”

“New shoes when I don’t really go anywhere? Sure, why not.”

“Yup, I’m going to go ahead and have a Bloody Mary at the pool with some chips and guac.”

“Jump off a cliff into freezing cold water? I’m going for it.”

“Dinner’s in an hour, but the kids want a cookie? Let them live their dreams.”

This is why we decorated our house for Halloween when it was over 100 degrees outside. Just don’t care about seasonal appropriateness right now. I busted out the pumpkin puree months ago. Any shriveled crumb of potential joy and I’m taking it.

I used to not really be a crumble or pie person. I would always go for cake or cookies until I became pregnant with P. (I still dream about Leoda’s pie from our family babymoon trip!!) Now pie and I are best friends. And if it’s in a skillet with a sweet crumbly topping, I’m in. I crafted this after the Pilot’s beloved dump cake. It takes minimal work but tastes amazing (and makes the house smell ridiculous).

This pumpkin dump cake is delicious with some coconut whip on top and maaayyyybbeee a glass of mulled wine on the side if you really want to do it right.

It’s also quite dreamy swirled into a bowl of morning oats, let me tell ya.

Here’s the recipe if you’d like to give it a try! It’s gluten-free, dairy-free, and a perfect fall dessert.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 1215 servings 1x

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 can pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1 cup almond milk or non-dairy milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 box pumpkin cake mix (I used Simple Mills)
  • 1 stick of vegan butter, melted (or 8 tablespoons melted coconut oil)
  • 1 cup of pecans, chopped

Spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond milk, coconut sugar, eggs, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir well to combine.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the cake mix on top. Pour the melted butter on top. It will splash around but try to cover as much as possible. Sprinkle the pecans on top.

Bake for 45 minutes until bubbling.

Allow to set at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Serve warm with coconut whip or your favorite non-dairy ice cream.

Notes

Store covered in the fridge! Feel free to ditch the nuts or use yellow cake baking mix if that’s all you have. Just add extra pumpkin pie spice!
