  1. Prepare the casserole:

  2. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Rub the butternut squash halves with the oil and place cut side down on the baking sheet. Roast 35-45 minutes or until fork tender.

  3. Step 2

    When cool enough to handle, scoop out the butternut squash flesh and purée in a food processor until smooth. You'll end up with roughly 4 – 4 1/2 cups of purée.

  4. Step 3

    Transfer the purée to a fine mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth placed over a bowl. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand in the refrigerator overnight to allow liquid to drain from the purée.

  5. Step 4

    Preheat the oven 350 degrees F when you're ready to bake the casserole, and spray an 8×8" baking dish with cooking spray.

  6. Step 5

    Beat the butternut squash, eggs, maple syrup, milk, butter, cinnamon, vanilla and salt until smooth, then pour into the prepared baking dish.

  7. Prepare the streusel:

  8. Step 6

    Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon and pinch of salt in medium bowl.

  9. Step 7

    Cut in the cold butter in with a pastry blender, fork, or your fingers, until it's in pea-sized clumps.

  10. Step 8

    Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top of the butternut squash filling and bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes or until the streusel has browned and puffed up in the center.

  11. Step 9

    Cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes, then serve.
