'tis the season to eat pumpkins. i LOVE pumpkin pie and any pumpkin flavored food but it's hard to find low-cal stuff. I'm wondering if any of you have ANY pumpkin flavored recipes you're willing to give to me. muffins, pies, cakes, casseroles. Hit me with your best shot and I'm going to try to make all of them in due time.


preferrably recipes that involve canned pumpkin because preparing an actual pumpkin takes a lot of work.

Also - add me if you want :] I always enjoy more people for support and to support.

    Mix 1 tablespoon of pumpkin with a packet of cinnamon& spice oatmeal and cook according to instructions. Easy and sooooo good for fall- tastes just like pumpkin pie in your oatmeal!

    Oh that sounds good!


    Another trick, 1 box of Spice Cake mix (dry) and 1 15oz can of pumpkin -- bake in the oven at 350 for 15-19 minutes and there's you some pumpkin muffins.

    and

    Hearty Pumpkin Soup

    1 10.75oz can of condensed cream of chicken soup
    1 15 oz can of pumpkin
    3 tbs garlic powder or to taste
    1 tbs onion powder or to taste
    1/2 tbs curry powder or to taste
    A tiny bit of nutmeg
    Pepper to taste
    1 tbs sour cream

    Put the soup and pumpkin in a sauce pan and heat gently. Once it combines some, add one can (the chicken soup can) of water to make it thinner like soup.

    Add the spices to taste and continue heating it until its hot enough for you. Once you dish it up, add the sour cream in a dollop on top and swirl it into the soup with your spoon as it melts.

    It sounds really weird, but my roomie and I loved it. It was hearty, and a good balance of savory and sweet. Plus it was pretty filling! We had it with grilled eggplant sandwiches and it was awesome.

    Oh, I just remembered another one I tried this weekend!


    These easy to make pumpkin pancakes are beautifully golden in color and have a fun "puffed-up" appearance. With the pumpkin adding a hint of flavor and moistness, pumpkin adds just the right touch to make these pancakes a new family favorite.
    2 cups complete pancake mix (such as AUNT JEMIMA® Buttermilk Complete)
    1 1/2 cups water
    2/3 cup LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin
    nutmeg and cinnamon to taste
    Nonstick cooking spray
    Lite pancake syrup, if desired
    COMBINE pancake mix, water and pumpkin in medium bowl. Stir just until moistened. Batter may be lumpy.
    SPRAY griddle or large skillet with nonstick spray. Heat over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle; cook until batter bubbles begin to burst. Turn and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve with syrup.
    Estimated Times: Preparation - 5 minutes; Cooking - 10 minutes.
    Makes 6 servings, about 12 pancakes total.


    They were seriously awesome, and so moist I just put a little butter on them and didn't need any syrup!

    I have a delicious recipe for Autumn Bisque I think you'll like!
    I used the recipe calculator and it has 297 calories for an 8 oz. serving.
    I will try to make the recipe public (never did that before). If I can't figure it out I'll make sure to send it to you!

    Butter - Unsalted, 1/4 cup
    Diced Onion, 1/2 cup
    Chicken Stock, 3 cup
    Pure Pumpkin, 24 oz Can
    Candied Yams, 3.5 cup
    Squash, Hubbard or Butternut, fresh or frozen, 1.5 cup
    Brown Sugar, 1.75 cup
    Cream or Half and Half, 3 cups
    Cinnamon, 1 T.

    Saute onions in butter. Add remaining ingredients and simmer 15 minutes. Put in blender and blend until creamy.

    Makes 15 eight oz. servings

    **May use fat-free half and half to cut fat or use heavy cream to add calories and fat.

    I saw a pumpkin cake or muffin recipe on the Splenda website (splenda.ca) that I'm going to try! I was just checking it out yesterday and there are so many awesome looking recipes! I often substitute Splenda in my baking because my boyfriend is diabetic... so for thanksgiving we used Splenda in pumpkin pie, and you couldn't even taste a difference!

    From the website, I made the apple lovers muffins yesterday (with extra cinnamon and nutmeg) and they're delicious! More apple than muffin, but still great. :) So I would think there are other recipes worth trying out. (I also plan to try the gingerbread cake recipe once I buy a bundt pan)

    Happy baking!:happy:

    I made the pumpkin cake from Spice box cake mix and 1 can 15oz pure pumpkin and I added 2 egg whites and baked. Top with some light cool whip. My family loved it and never knew it was fairly low in calories
