Due to recent cravings for "pumpkin-y" things, I'm in search of low-fat or low-cal pumpkin recipes.

I'm posting one I found. Please post any if you have something to share.

    bumping this for later! :O

    Protein & Spice Pumpkin Bars

    2 Eggs
    1/2 c Splenda for Baking (if you are anti-Splenda use something like honey, Honey)
    1 c Pumpkin Puree
    1.5 c Vanilla Protein Powder
    1/2 t Baking Soda
    1/2 t Cinnamon
    1/2 t Cloves
    1/4 t Salt

    Whisk together the eggs, Splenda, pumpkin. Stir in the dry ingredients. Pour into a prepared 8×8 baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes (add another 5 minutes or longer if you used honey instead of Splenda). Inhale…smells amazing, doesn’t it? Ok, you can exhale now go make some coffee or hot tea.

    I like to cut and store my bars in snack sized baggies and pop them in the freezer so they’re ready to grab and go. And, I eat them plain or top with whipped cream a touch of buttery spread–I’m a fan of Earth Balance or Smart Balance Light, for the record.

    Just found this the other day on hungrygirl.com:

    Chocolate Cake
    1 box chocolate cake mix, dry
    1 15 oz can pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)

    Mix with wooden spoon until moistened
    Spray 9 x 13
    Bake @ 350 about 20 minutes
    Check with toothpick

    Should be moist, don't overcook.

    This site had other great recipes using pumpkin. Granted, I have not gotten a chance to make this cake yet, but will soon. It sounded tasty!

    This page has tons of them. You just click on the picture and it gives you the recipe. At the bottom is usually a place for nutritional info. Not all of them are probably super healthy, but many are nice :) I have tried the pancakes and the brownies and they are great. Hope you find something you can use!

    This is a favorite post-workout or breakfast smoothie of mine. It taste best with homemade pumpkin puree, but canned works well too.

    4 oz. pumpkin puree
    2 oz peanut butter (all natural preferred)
    3 oz chilled apple juice
    1/2 tbs agave nectar (or honey or Splenda, I like agave for this)
    small pinch of ground cinnamon,
    drop or two of vanilla extract
    three ice cubes

    Combine in a blender and mix until smooth and delicious.

    Kim's Virtuous Mini Pumpkin Muffins
    12 servings (original recipe makes 48 mini-muffins, which I scaled down to 12)

    Ingredients
    3/4 cup all-purpose flour
    1/4 cup and 1 tablespoon white sugar
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
    1 egg whites
    1/4 cup milk
    2 tablespoons applesauce
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/8 teaspoon ground allspice, or more to taste
    1/8 teaspoon ground ginger

    Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease 12 (was 48) mini-muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
    Stir the flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin puree, egg whites, milk, applesauce, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, and ginger together in a large bowl until everything is just moistened; pour into prepared muffin cups.
    Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

    BuMP!

    I'm drooling now and need to go look in a cook book.

    A similar tasty treat (and my dinner):

    Butternut squash ravioli (safeway brand, on sale 3 bucks for a big bag with 5 servings) 270cal per serving
    low fat alfredo your choice (generic 70 cals per serving)
    Cook up and sprinkle with some Asiago cheese
    (combined with the strong cheese it was much more fullfilling and tasted "richer", I was a full fat browned butter girl in the past so this is a great replacement)

    SO freaking tasty! Add a salad and you've got a lovely dinner for under 500 cals that fits that need for savory things (not pumpkin but close!)

    ***** >>>>> If you use this 12-serving recipe, make sure to use only 1/4 can of pumpkin puree ... silly me, I put in the whole 15 oz can by mistake. Der-Dee-Der. Prob best to just go with the original recipe @ http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/kims-virtuous-mini-pumpkin-muffins/detail.aspx
