    Havent tried them yet-- but here is a recipe for Pumpkin Cookies I've been dying to try...did I mention they're THIRTY-FIVE calories each!?

    1 cup canned pumpkin
    1 egg
    1/2 cup plain yogurt
    3 tablespoons honey
    1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
    1 1/4 cups Splenda granular
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    2 teaspoons cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon ginger
    1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
    1/4 teaspoon salt

    1Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the first 5 ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Stir until blended. In another bowl combine all of the remaining ingredients. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture stirring until well blended. Cover cookie sheets with aluminum foil, and lightly grease with a non-stick cooking spray. Drop small spoonfuls of dough onto the sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool. I love to refrigerate these cookies and serve them cold, but I'm sure they would taste great at room temperature as well.


    I wonder how many calories a healthy dose of chocolate chips would add....:love:

    So I was innocently walking past a Dunkin Donuts the other day :blushing: and I saw their signs for all of their delicious pumpkin seasonal goodies.

    I've seen a bunch of recipes for pumpkin bread but I'm wondering if anybody has any recipes for...

    Pumpkin Muffins?
    Pumpkin Lattes?
    Oh, and does anyone have any "healthy" version of *really yummy* pumpkin pie???


    Despite the fact that you are a Florida Gator (I'm Tallahassee born and bred) I found a muffin recipe that looks pretty delicous. In my pumpkin escapades I've never tried muffins, so no promise if they're any good or not.

    Pumpkin Spice/Carrot Muffins

    Ingredients
    1 15 oz. can Libby's Pure Pumpkin Puree
    1 18 oz. box Betty Crocker Super Moist Carrot Cake or Spice Cake Mix



    Directions
    Combine pumpkin and cake mix. Spoon into 18 cupcake liners and bake at 350 degrees for 20 -25 minutes. NOTE: The batter is very sticky and leaves a rough textured top on the muffins, but they're light and delicious. Makes 18 muffins.

    Number of Servings: 18

    I just tried this recipe from www.sparksrecipe.com and it is great! I used the spice cake mix instead of the carrot and added just a little cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. 128 calories when divided by 18.

    The original recipe said 12 servings but I had enough batter for 18 full sized cupcakes. There are lots of variations of the recipe on the www.sparksrecipe.com

    I got this recipe from this blog spot and I haven't made this pumpkin version but I have made the chocolate version and my hubby who hates any healthy treats loved it so here it is.

    Who says you can't have pie for breakfast?? I just had healthy pumpkin pie/cheesecake for breakfast :) I have had the chocolate mug cake before, but have been craving pumpkin. So I decided to try and make one. It turned out great!


    Pumpkin Pie Mug Cake


    3 tbsp almond flour
    1 tbsp plain pumpkin
    .5 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or as much as you like)
    1 egg
    1.5 tbsp xylitol (or sweetener of your choice)
    1 tbsp cream
    1 tbsp cream cheese
    .5 tbsp butter
    3 drops vanilla stevia


    *I think next time I will try to add 2-3 chopped pecan halves.


    Put all into the blender or magic bullet and puree. Pour into a coffee mug or ramekin. Microwave for 90 seconds to 2 min. It will puff up, but will come back down. Invert onto a plate and top with a little real whip cream if you like! Yum! I will make again tomorrow and get a picture for you. It smelled so good I had to eat it before I could take a pic!

    This was a recipe we did for weight watchers, super easy.They were like 2 pts. so around 100-150 calories, depending on the fiber and fat, can't remember exactly. You use the reduced sugar yellow cake mix by pillsbury, and mix with 1 cup of pumpkin, and some spices of your choice, and I added mini choc. chips. put them in a muffin pan at 350 for about 20 min, they are good.they make 12-18, depending on how much you fill the muffins, they don't rise either, they are a little dense, but good! Enjoy!
