    Bisquick has an impossible pumpkin pie recipe. 215 calories. I make a lot of these impossible pies because they're really easy.

    ETA: My mom has been making this for Thanksgiving for as long as I can remember.

    Sounds good but would like a recipe with less calories.

    You could try subbing with fat free evaporated milk and egg substitute. That's all I got! :smile:

    There's another crustless pumpkin pie on their site with less calories, but that's probably because it serves 8 instead of 6. That's an easy way to cut the calories, cutting it in smaller pieces.
  • hi! you can use the libby's pumpkin pie recipe and just cut the sugar in half and use nonfat/lowfat evap milk and egg white or substitute and no crust and get the calories way down from the original. It will still work, it just won't be as sweet, sweet, sweet.

    besteverbaking.com has a section for libby's that has a (I believe) a Best Ever Crustless Pumpkin Pie. I'll see if I can find it for you.

    Edit: my bad, it's verybestbaking.com and it's Crustless Libby's Famous Pumpkin Pie. 170 calories for 1/8 a pie:

    ETA: Oops, technically it's not crustless but the graham crackers don't make much of a crust since they sort of get soaked into the filling and it's really low cal anyway

    Pumpkin Cheesecake – Weight Watchers
    From WW New Complete Cookbook

    Makes 6 servings

    9 graham crackers (2 ½” squares) made into crumbs
    1 cup low-fat (1%) cottage cheese
    ¾ cup part-skim ricotta cheese
    ¾ cup egg substitute
    ½ cup sugar
    1 tsp ground ginger
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    ½ tsp ground nutmeg
    ½ tsp cinnamon
    1/8 tsp salt
    One 15 oz can pumpkin puree

    Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray 9” glass pie plate with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over the bottom of the pie plate.

    In a food processor or blender, combine the cottage cheese and ricotta; process until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl; stir all remaining ingredients except pumpkin.
    Reserve ¼ cup of the batter.
    Add the pumpkin to the batter; stir until blended.
    Scrape the batter into the pie plate, and then drizzle the reserved batter in 3 concentric circles over the pumpkin batter. With a knife, lightly draw a line through the batter from the center toward the outer edge; about 2” from that line lightly draw the knife through the batter from the outer edge toward the center. Repeat around the pie, alternating directions to make what looks like a spider web.

    Bake 45-50 minutes or until knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely on rack. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.

    I just made one last night that I eat for breakfast -

    1 15 oz can pumpkin
    1 container light silken tofu
    1/2 c milk (I used unsweetened almond)
    spices to your taste (I used pumpkin pie spice about 1 tbsp but I like it very flavorful)
    sweetner (stevia/splenda/etc) if you want - to taste
    1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)

    put in food processor/blender until smooth. bake 350 in a glass pie dish for 1 hr until firm. Will firm up overnight in the fridge. I eat 1/2 the pie for breakfast and it's about 240 cal and 30g protein.
  • I made the Libby's Pumpkin Pie recipe (that's on the pumpkin puree can) today using the following:

    1/2 cup egg white in place of 2 eggs

    3/4 cup Splenda granulated (not the blend, there's no sugar in it at all, but it measures cup for cup to sugar)

    fat free evaporated milk

    and left out the crust

    and it is pretty good! I may play around with the spices next time. I followed the baking instructions from the can but took about 5 minutes off the baking time.

    For 1/8 of pie the nutrion info worked out to the following (via MFP recipe builder):
    59.2 calories
    12.5 carbs
    2.4 fiber
    7.8 sugars
    4.2 protein
    .2 fat
    197.5 sodium

    Ingredients:
    1/2 c. pumpkin puree
    1/4 c. egg whites (from an egg or carton)
    Sweetener
    Cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
    Directions:
    
Mix together all the ingredients. If you prefer a flan-like texture, add more pumpkin; if you prefer a cake-like texture, add more egg whites. Microwave for two minutes. Use a mix of Greek yogurt, hazelnut cream cheese, and pumpkin pie spice for the icing. Top with toasted pecans.
    Makes one serving.

    That is the original recipe. I found the texture was off so I added 1 table spoons 1% milk and I also put it in my chopper to puree it. I used 1 tsp of the pumpkin pie spice and I used 1 packed table spoon of brown sugar. You would have to experiment with sweetener to see how much you would need. My kids have nut allergies so I omitted the pecans. I topped with low fat Nutrawhip

    This year I made the Libby's pumpkin pie recipe that's on the label, but poured the mixture into ramekins to bake like creme brulee, instead of a giant pie crust. It has all the taste of the pumpkin pie, without the crust. And it's gluten-free, since there is no crust.

    Eggs don't have that many calories anyhow - and are good for you anyhow! (Refer to: http://www.zest.co.uk/nutrition/why-eggs-are-good-for-you/2642.html)

    I make the recipe with low fat evaporated milk and cut down on the brown sugar, if I want it less sweet.

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

  • Using the same recipe but instead of using sugar try coconut palm sugar (I usually use 1/2 of what it is for reg. sugar. Make your own Bisquick with whole wheat, coconut, or spelt flour but if you make your own you need to store in refrig. You also can substitute egg beaters for real eggs. Be sure your evaporated milk is low fat. It will cut down calorie intake a lot
