  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine walnuts, almond flour, white sugar, and melted butter to form the crust mixture. Press evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

  4. Stir pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice into the remaining cream cheese mixture until fully blended.
  5. Pour the reserved plain cheesecake batter over the walnut crust. Gently spoon the pumpkin cheesecake batter on top without mixing.
  6. Prepare streusel topping by mixing sugar, brown sugar, oats, flour, softened butter, and vanilla until crumbly; sprinkle over the pumpkin layer.
  7. Bake for 60-70 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Allow cooling before refrigerating for at least two hours before slicing.
