• 3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons whole wheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon Compote
• 2 cups 1/4” inch cubes peeled, seeded sugar pumpkin or butternut squash (about 1/2 lb)

METHOD
Streusel
• Preheat oven to 375°. Bake oats, pumpkin seeds, and walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet until light golden, about 10 minutes; let cool. Transfer to a food processor. Add the remaining 6 ingredients and pulse until crumble forms. Spread on rimmed baking sheet; bake until golden and crispy, occasionally breaking up lumps, 18–20 minutes. Let cool.
Compote
• Preheat oven to 375°. Bring first 7 ingredients and 1 1/2 cups water to a simmer in a large
saucepan over medium heat. Cover and simmer until pumpkin is just tender, about 7 minutes. Add pears and vanilla; cook uncovered, stirring often, until pears are tender, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer pumpkin-and-fruit mixture to a medium bowl. Simmer syrup in pan until reduced to 1/2 cup, 3–5 minutes
• Arrange ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet. Divide compote among ramekins. Drizzle each with 1 Tbsp. reserved syrup.
• Bake until filling is bubbling at edges, 25–30 minutes. Top with streusel and serve.
