Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 ºF or 190 ºC and line a 9x13 inch pan with parchment paper.
2. To make the pecan streusel, stir together the flour, oats, brown sugar and cinnamon then add the butter and pinch the butter through your fingers with a rubbing type motion until you have a coarse crumb texture then stir in the chopped pecans until they’re all coated and set the mixture aside.
3. For the filling, in a large bowl combine the pumpkin puree,  sweetened condensed milk, beaten eggs, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, ground cloves and salt then mix with a whisk until the mixture is well combined and smooth then set aside.
4. For the crust, combine flour, baking powder, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt then add the cold diced butter and pinch the butter through your fingers with a rubbing type motion until you have a coarse crumb texture that holds together when you squeeze it but breaks apart easily. 
5. Firmly pat the crumb crust mixture onto the bottom of the prepared pan.
6. Pour the filling over the crust and spread it evenly being careful not to disturb the crust then evenly scatter the pecan streusel over the top and bake 40-45.
