PUMPKIN ANGEL FOOD CAKE
Ingredients
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1 package (16 ounces) angel food cake mix
14 tablespoons reduced-fat whipped topping
Additional ground cinnamon, optional

Directions
In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Fold a fourth of the batter into pumpkin mixture; gently fold in the remaining batter. Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets.

Bake on the lowest oven rack at 350° for 38-44 minutes or until top is golden brown and cake springs back when lightly touched and entire top appears dry. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour.

Run a knife around side and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate. Garnish each slice with 1 tablespoon whipped topping; sprinkle with cinnamon if desired. Yield: 14 servings.

I also love making pumpkin pie oatmeal

Keep em coming. I Love pumpkin. Pumpkin smell, candles and taste. Mmm

That chili recipe looks great! I'll just take out the turkey, and maybe sub with some extra beans or tofu to try and match the protein profile. I feel silly for forgetting you can put pumpkin in with chili!

I've been basically having butternut squash on the side of all my dinners, because 200g of it I find is rather filling, and comes in under 90 calories, and I think pumpkin is even lower in calories!

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!

I found Pumpkin Butter at my Farmers Market (think of Apple Butter but Pumpkin instead of apple). Not sure how they made it but it is very tasty

Pumkin muffins... quickest and tastiest low cal muffin ever (actually a weight watchers recipe)

1 can pure pumpkin
1 box spice cake mix

Pre-heat oven to 350. Combine pumkin and cake mix until well mixed.

Grease muffin tin/put liners in - fill to the top and bake for 30-40 minutes.

I added a swirl of cinnamon and all-spice, it was a nice extra kick.

Yummy!
