  • Process pecans in a food processor until finely ground. Add oat flour, butter, maple syrup and salt; pulse until just combined. Transfer to the prepared pan and firmly press into the bottom and up the sides.

  • Bake the crust until set but not browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes.

  • To prepare filling: Blend pumpkin puree, eggs, yogurt, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon vanilla and salt in a food processor or blender. Place the crust on a baking sheet and spread the filling evenly to the edges.

  • Bake the tart until the filling is just set (the center may still appear soft, but will become more solid as it cools), about 35 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack to room temperature. Loosely cover and refrigerate until chilled, 2 to 3 hours.

  • To prepare topping: Whip cream, mascarpone, granulated sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl until soft peaks form.

  • Remove the pan sides before slicing the tart. Serve each slice topped with a dollop of the whipped cream.

Tips

Editor's note: After reader feedback and retesting this recipe, we have reduced the amount of pumpkin spice called for in this recipe from 2 tablespoons to 2 teaspoons.

Tips

To make ahead: Loosely cover and refrigerate the tart for up to 1 day; make whipped cream just before serving.

Tips

Tip: Oat flour is made from finely milled whole oats. Try it in place of a portion of other flour in pancakes or muffins. Look for it with other whole-grain or gluten-free flours. To make your own, grind oats in a blender or food processor until they're the texture of flour.

Tips

Cut Down on Dishes: A rimmed baking sheet is great for everything from roasting to catching accidental drips and spills. For effortless cleanup and to keep your baking sheets in tip-top shape, line them with a layer of foil before each use.
