Craving Pumpkin Pie

Does anyone have any good recipes for a pumpkin tart or something? I'm really craving those fall flavors but want an healthier alternative!

I don't have any recipes...since I've never tried pumpkin pie. Haha. But I know Kashi makes Pumpkin Pie granola bars...my brother loves them (and I've seen him eat a pumpkin pie in one sitting so he knows his stuff, haha). So that would be a healthy alternative on the go...at least until the holidays come

I Have a great crustless pumpkin pie reciepe have to find it. I love pumpkin and the spices. Try adding pumpkin into your oatmeal or oatbran with cinnamon nutmeg and cloves or pumpkin pie spice it is awsome. The last time I went to the store she told me there was going to be a pumpkin shortage :-( I wanted to make my breakfest with it. I love it ! !!! plus pumpkin is so good for you

For me, there's nothing like pumpkin pie. Here's a low cal version.

1 can (16 ounces) pumpkin
1 can (12 ounces) fat free evaporated skim milk
Egg substitute equal to 2 whole eggs
2 egg whites
3/4 cup splenda, granulated
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup reduced fat graham cracker crumbs
Fat free cool whip (optional)

Recipe


In a large bowl combine pumpkin, evaporated milk, egg substitute and egg whites. Beat until blended and smooth. Mix in Splenda, cinnamon, pumpkin spice and nutmeg. Blend well. Stir in graham cracker crumbs. Spray a 10-inch, high-sided pie plate with butter-flavored, non-stick spray. Pour pie filling into pie plate. Bake in pre-heated 325-degree oven for 45-55 minutes or until knife comes out clean. Cool pie and refrigerate overnight. Serve with whipped topping if desired.

PROTFITNESS: Would love to have the recipe.

When I did Weight Watchers I made this for myself at Thanksgiving. I omitted the pie crust though and just put it in the pie plate without it. I believe I used the big Jell-o box to make sure it was thick enough. If I felt the need for graham cracker crust, I just sprinkled some crushed graham crackers on the top of it,

The ENTIRE "pie" is very low in calories, so you can eat it without much guilt creeping in...

You could always get the flavor through a pumpkin soup as well.

This sounds good, what size of canned pumpkin though. I am assuming a small can.

I make the recipe on the side of the LIbby Pumpkin PIe (15oz) and make it as directed. I just don't bake it in a pie shell. That's where the majority of fat and calories are anyway.

Now I'm craving it, so I'll probably make it yet tonight. I've been wanting pumpkin bars, but the pie without the crust is much healthier.

The other day I added a couple tablespoons canned pumpkin to Fage 0% greek yogurt, and a few sprinkles of pumpkin pie spice and a packet of Splenda and it was the best substitute I've found!

¾ cup of evaporated skim milk
¼ cup of apple juice concentrate
¼ cup of brown sugar
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground ginger
Pinch of ground cloves
Pinch of salt
12 pecan halves
1 tsp of maple syrup (get the real stuff its more expensive but otherwise you are just paying for maple flavored HFCS).

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with ground pecans and applesauce. Press into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9 inch pie plate coated with a small amount of canola oil. Set aside.

Combine remaining ingredients, except pecan halves and syrup in a large bowl. Mix until blended. Pour mixture into pie crust. Bake 20-30 minutes or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. Refrigerate pie. When cool, cut into 12 equal pieces.

In a small bowl, coat pecan halves with syrup. Transfer to a lightly oiled baking sheet, reduce heat to 325 and bake 4-5 minutes. Remove from oven. Place one pecan on the outer edge of each slice of pie before serving.

i make a slow-cooker pumpkin butter (no, it does not contain any butter!) which is good for satisfying those pumpkin urges!

I hadn't even heard of pumpkin butter till a few years ago and i have to say YUM, its GOOD! .... I tried it because my youngest son's egg allergy was going to prevent him from having pumpkin pie and wellllll, that is pretty hard for a mama to think of!

I like it on an Arnold sandwich thin, lightly toasted or a few graham crackers. Stir it into yogurt too.

When i did my calculations, based on my yield, i came up with around 15 calories per teaspoon. Your cal/tsp count will vary depending on how long you cook it down & your overall yield, but that is a ballpark figure.

SLOW COOKER PUMPKIN BUTTER

Ingredients:
2 c pumpkin puree (you can make fresh or use quality canned pumpkin)
1 c sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp ground cloves
pinch ground nutmeg
1 lemon, juice of

Directions:
Place all ingredients in the slow cooker and cook on high for about 3 hours. Stir once about half-way through. After 3 hours, stir and check consistency & color. You will want it to be thickened and to darken to a deep, but not burned, color. Remember, you want this to be thick but not burned and gummy. You may need to cook for a longer (it seems i always do!)... You can also turn it down onto low if you want-- just cook longer

Empty into small clean glass jars (leave some headroom!) and freeze (up to a year) or refrigerate (up to a few weeks).

You can easily double the recipe as they make nice hostess gifts for the fall/winter holidays

Thanks so much for sharing this! I made it last night, adding a few calories with some sprinkled Ritz for a crust and it was FANTASTIC! If you're craving pumpkin pie, but not the calories, this is an easy, no bake option! It's a little fluffier, but the flavor is definately there! MMM. Can't wait for leftover dessert tonight.
