I halved the sugar and used whole wheat flour. It still turned out great.
I make pumpkin yogurt every morning for breakie
equal pumpkin and greek yogurt, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, nutmeg and some honey.
If you google pumpkin pie yogurt you will get a bunch of recipes for it.

Skinny pumpkin brownies!
One box lowfat brownie mix, one can of pumpkin. So easy!
Each 3 inch square brownie is just 120 calories. No oil, eggs or anything! Just a tiny hint of the pumpkin flavor, made ever better with CHOCOLATE!0 -
I am absolutely obsessed with anything pumpkin (all throughout the year, too!).
This recipe is great: http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/impossibly-easy-pumpkin-pie/c0eab3d9-06a3-4829-9125-7581f1d96315
^I use light butter/margarine and 1% evaporated milk and I make it in 12 muffin tins (with foil liners) and they come out to be about 110 cals a piece. You can even use skim or almond milk and they still come out yummy and less than 100 cals a piece.
Also, the pumpkin puree + spice cake muffins are amazing! I add an egg white and about 2 tbsp of water just to make the batter a little easier to mix. I usually add about 1.5 tsp of pumpkin pie spice too.0 -

I make the fluff too but I use SF/FF cheesecake pudding instead of vanilla (and I do add skim milk, HALF the amount called for to make pudding, so it's thicker) and add a little pumpkin pie spice to it for some more flavor. Very good!0 -
I was craving pumpkin last night but wanted to be healthy so I came up with this.
1 cup Chobani plain yogurt
1/8 cup canned pumpkin (more or less to suit your taste)
1 tsp agave nectar
Several good shakes of pumpkin pie spice
Mix well. I added some granola and crumbled graham crackers to mine. Super yummy, my kids asked me to make some more today!0 -

Pumpkin recipe thread, where have you been all my life?!
Some of my favorites are Skinny Taste's Pumpkin Granola:
http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/09/easy-pumpkin-spiced-granola.html
(I adjust the ingredients a bit depending on my calorie budget needs) You can put it in oatmeal or cereal, yogurt, salads, ice cream, or just eat it by the handful- which I'm definitely guilty of. It's really fantastic.
She actually has a whole category devoted to pumpkin stuff:
http://www.skinnytaste.com/2007/07/skinny-pumpkin-madness.html
I've experimented with making 'healthy' pumpkin bread and muffins, but haven't really perfected it yet.
I also like to make pumpkin pancakes this time of year. The quickest way is just to use a boxed mix (I like Heart Smart Bisquick) and add about 1/2 cup of canned pumpkin and about a tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice and a bit of cinnamon. However, I stumbled across a super-skinny pancake recipe on our very own forums the other day that is a little complex (read: you need a mixer), but worth it if you've got the time:
3/4 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 c. milk (or milk substitute)
2 egg whites (or 1/3 cup if you're using the ones in a carton)
1/2 c. canned pumpkin
2 tsp baking powder
1-2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, to taste
1/2-1 tsp cinnamon, to taste
Directions
1. Sprinkle dash of salt on egg whites and beat until stiff, but not dry.
2. Add milk to flour and salt. Beat until smooth.
3. Add baking powder and beat a few seconds more
4. Fold in beaten egg whites.
5. Pour into the pan and turn once. Should be golden brown.
The original recipe comes out to be 26-30 calories per pancake, but the pumpkin adds about 50 calories to the recipe, which yields about 8-10 1/4 cup sized pancakes. They're great with some fried apples (sauteed with cooking spray- don't panic), sugar free syrup, and toasted pecans!0 -

My mom makes this simple soup that never fails to make me drool.
She cooks pumpkin, carrots, chicken breast and herbs to make a very creamy soup.
Then adds either:
slivered almonds or coconut milk or both.
Y-U-M-M-Y!!!
Also, a REQUEST:
is there anywhere I can get canned pumpkin in the UK? Tesco, Lidl, Sainsbury's, Co-operative all failed me ;(((((0 -

SkinnyTaste.com has a great pumpkin cupcake recipe w/ homemade cream cheese icing. I thought they were very good! However, I suck at making homemade icing so my second batch, I bought premade icing.
OMG, those cupcakes were to die for!! made them last year0
