SO - good. The pumpkin might seem weird, but they are fantastic. Hubby who doesn't really enjoy lighter cooking loved them.


Ingredients:
One 18.25-oz. box moist-style devil's food cake mix
One 15-oz. can pure pumpkin (Libby's is best!)
1/4 cup creamy reduced-fat peanut butter, room temperature
1 tbsp. light soymilk (plain or vanilla) or fat-free milk (whatever you have on hand)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a large baking pan (about 9" X 13") with nonstick spray and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix with pumpkin. Stir until completely blended. (Batter will be thick.) Spread batter into the baking pan, and smooth out the top.

In a small bowl, combine peanut butter with milk. Using a butter knife or a narrow spoon handle, stir until thoroughly mixed. Swirl the peanut butter mixture over the top of the batter with the knife or spoon handle.

Bake in the oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 - 25 minutes.

Allow to cool, and then cut into 16 pieces. Enjoy!

    Let me know what you and everyone else thinks! A friend of mine hates pumpkin and she was convinced she'd hate them....and she LOVED them! I had to send half the plate home with her and her family so I wouldn't keep eating them. I used Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Devil Food Cake. Not sure if it matters, but they are SUPER moist, so you might want to look for that particular kind.

    I wonder if you could substitute 15 oz of unsweetened applesauce for the pumpkin, that way it would be even less calories!! and some unsweetened almond milk instead of soy....I'll have to try this sometime and get back to you guys :)
