Since it sounds like you're going for a fairly sweet dish, how about crumbling up some hard gingersnaps and scattering them over the top?

Or wonder if you could toast some quinoa, mix it with a little brown sugar and butter and achieve a nice crunchy top that way. (Never actually done that, but seems like it might work.)

Toasted pumpkin seeds could be nice.

Try oats (not instant); they work really well in a crumble topping

I would a seed smaller than pumpkin- maybe sunflower. But the crumbled snaps sound good too.

When boulangere tested my sweet potato casserole recipe last year she used rolled oats for the topping with good success. http://www.food52.com/recipes...
