This oatmeal streusel is super easy to make and is a great topping for breakfast casseroles and other desserts.

Karlynn’s Recipe Rundown: Oatmeal Streusel

Pumpkin pie spice is the primary spice used for this topping as it contains the right amount of spices and flavor profile.
I use walnuts and rolled oats for the best possible crunch to flavor but feel free to try other types of nuts if you prefer something different.
This is great on fruit crisps and breakfast casseroles, to name a few.

Quick Recipe Summary: How to Make Oatmeal Streusel

Prepare the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the butter over the dry ingredients and stir until coated evenly.
Use to top your favorite desserts or store in an airtight container or bag for up to 3 months in the freezer.

Ingredient Tips You Need to Know

Rolled oats work best for this as they have a better flavor profile and are not as “dusty” or low quality as quick oats. You want the texture to be good, so rolled works the best.

Salted butter is important. I tend to never use unsalted butter in my recipes as salt is a key ingredient in baking and salted butter simply makes everything taste better.

Storage Instructions

Freeze any leftovers in an airtight container or bag for up to 3 months and defrost to use.

Happy Baking!
