    I just found this one yesterday.

    Slim Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars
    • 1 box angel food cake mix- the 1 step kind
    • 1 15oz can Pumpkin
    • 3/4 Cup water
    • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1 8oz pkg. Greek Cream Cheese OR may use reduced fat cream cheese
    • -few tablespoons of water for smoothing the cream cheese

    Soften the cream cheese then add it to mixer & beat it with a couple of tablespoons of water until smooth to thin it out.

    In a separate bowl, mix the cake mix, pumpkin, water, & cinnamon together until it is smooth & well mixed.

    In a 9x13 cooking dish- sprayed with non-stick cooking spray- add HALF of the cake –pumpkin mix. Then smooth it out. Drizzle half of the cream cheese over the top and take a small spatula to smooth it over the top. Add remaining cake mix and then the remaining cream cheese. Finally take a butter knife- stick it into the mix and go back & forth over the top of the cake to create swirls.

    Bake for 35 minutes at 375 degrees OR until a toothpick comes out clean.

    My fav pumpkin is so easy. Trader joes makes a pumpkin bread mix that I make muffins with and add white chocolate chips to. They're the best! IDK if they're healthy, etc. but delicious definitely!

    This is my latest addiction and it is wonderful!!! Pumpkin Fluff, my version, makes 10 servings at 63 calories per serving.

    Pumpkin Fluff

    1 can 29 ounces canned pumpkin. Not pie mix, plain pumpkin
    1 - 2 teaspoons cinnamon
    1 - 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
    dash allspice or nutmeg
    1 box, 4 serving sugar free vanilla pudding. Do not mix with milk, add dry.

    Mix these ingredients together well, until the spices and pudding mix are well incorporated.

    Now add about 3/4 of a 16 ounce tub of cool whip light, fold into the pumpkin mixture well.

    Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set, but it is better the next day. Enjoy pumpkin decedance for a small calorie count and you will see why I am addicted!!

    Just a quick FYI on all these pumpkin + cake mix recipes....and others. You can fold in 2 or 3 well beaten egg whites into the mix to add tons of extra volume and fluff... makes rather dense muffins into lovely light cupcake texture.. and will make 10 muffins into 12 or more which really cuts down your calories but you still get a full size portion. So enjoy the cakey texture and lightness with lower calories and pretty muffin tops!

    Also this one:
    Healthy Pumpkin Pie Custard - Low Carb & Gluten Free

    Ingredients
    1 can (15 ounce) pure pumpkin (I like Libby's)
    1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
    1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
    4 beaten eggs (room temperature works best so the whites mix up)
    ½ teaspoon salt
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
    1/2 tsp stevia powder (not the kind w/ additives)
    Optional toppings: Whipped Cream, Sprinkle of nutmeg, butter-roasted pecans

    Instructions
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    Spray 6 ramekin or custard cups with nonstick cooking spray, or use 12 silicon muffin cups
    In a large bowl mix together pumpkin, milk,spices, and stevia (may need 1/4 tsp more stevia if you want them sweeter so that's why I recommend tasting before adding the eggs). Mix in beaten eggs.
    Pour evenly into ramekins or muffin cups.
    Bake for 40 minutes or until a knife comes out clean. (I put my muffin cups in a large pan with water for a "bain marie" to be sure they are really smooth textured)
    Remove from oven, set cups on wire rack to cool and add roasted pecans.
    Best served cold. Top with whipped cream! Sprinkle with nutmeg!

    Here's the link to original recipe:

    http://www.sugarfreemom.com/recipes/healthy-pumpkin-pie-custard-gluten-free-low-carb/

    Here's the macros for 12 muffin cups with my changes to original recipe (w/o the pecans):

    53 calories
    3 carbs - 2 fiber = 1 net carb
    4 fat
    3 protein

    Note: This really tastes like a rich pumpkin pie filling (not eggy)


    And, finally, this one:

    Prep Time: 20 minutes

    Cook Time: 40 minutes

    Total Time: 1 hour

    I L:heart:VE pumpkin!

    We have a bakery here that sells this little cup of pumpkin/custard "pudding." It's like pumpkin pie filling and custard pie filling swirled together in there with no crust (but less sweet than a pie). One of my most fave desserts in the universe.

    Thank goodness I do not have that recipe, or I'd be 1,000 lbs heavier than I am today. That and creme brulee seem to be my weaknesses. I also love pumpkin crunch.

    I tried a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks a few wks ago and call me crazy, but I didn't like it! It didn't taste like pumpkin to me. So many people I know rave about it. It must just be me.
