Preheat the oven to 350°. Lightly oil an 11" x 7" glass or ceramic baking dish. Add cereal to a food processor. Process for 15 to 20 seconds, until the cereal is crushed. Transfer to a small mixing bowl and add the maple syrup and cinnamon. Mix until well combined. Spoon mixture into the prepared baking dish. Gently press down on the cereal mixture spreading it evenly across the bottom of the baking dish. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until slightly browned. Set aside. Meanwhile, add egg whites to a large mixing bowl. Using a whisk lightly beat them until they bubble very slightly. Whisk in the pumpkin, agave and flour until well combined. Pour filling over the baked crust and spread evenly. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

Homemade Whipped Topping
¾ cup agave nectar
3 each large egg whites, at room temperature
½ tsp cream of tartar
Add water to a medium saucepan until it is about ¼ full. Bring water to a boil over high heat. Off the heat, combine the agave, egg whites and cream of tartar in a large metal or heavy duty glass mixing bowl. Beat on medium high with an electric mixer until well blended. Place bowl over the pot of boiling water (bowl will get very hot, wear an oven mitt while holding it over the heat). Beat for 7 minutes or until stiff peaks form, occasionally running the beaters around the sides of the bowl to scrape down any of the mixture. Remove the bowl from the water and continue beating, rotating the bowl and scraping down the sides with the beaters as you do for 5 to 7 minutes longer, or until the mixture is thick, very fluffy, and has very stiff peaks.
