It’s the height of pumpkin season, are you tired of it yet? I assume the answer is no, because you are here! There is no such thing as too much pumpkin, am I right?
This recipe will satisfy all of your cravings, and what I love more than anything is that this recipe works for any time of day.

It doesn’t have so much maple syrup that you feel bad eating it, so you can grab a piece any time and not feel bad!
Did I mention it is delicious? It really is 🙂
This pumpkin custard is easy to make and only requires one bowl.
To make this delicious homemade pumpkin custard, you will need the following ingredients:
- Canned 100% pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling
- Eggs
- Maple syrup
- Milk
- Cinnamon
- Pumpkin pie spice
- Vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350F (175 C).
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Stir until well-combined. Pour mixture into a 9″ x 12″ greased pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until firm in the center. Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Once cooled, top with whipped cream, chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of additional cinnamon, if desired.
Store leftovers in the fridge in an air-tight container for up to 5 days.
Can I use dairy-free milk in this recipe?
Yes, you can. Any milk will work, although I recommend using something without added sweetener or vanilla flavoring, as both are already included as separate ingredients.
Can I keep these fresh in the freezer for later?
Yes! I recommend freezing them individually with layers of parchment paper between, so that they do not stick to one another. Allow to thaw in the fridge for up to a day before consuming. It can be reheated in the microwave, although be sure not to overcook or the edges will become dry.
