Canned Pumpkin Recipes

nomoreexcuses121 · October 2011

I purchased a couple cans of pumpkin because I saw low calories and fat and high in fiber.

I tried finding some healthy recipes online, but can't seem to find any.

Any input is much appreciated and thanks in advance :-)

Do you like pumpkin butter? I just made this recipe:

It is really good. I think it's decently healthy, you can cut down on the brown sugar like she suggests to make it even better. I made it a couple days ago and I love it! Very easy too.

You can add it to your cream of wheat or oatmeal. Really there is alot to do with it, just try it and be creative.

My family loves these! http://allrecipes.com/recipe/addictive-pumpkin-muffins/detail.aspx
Even my super picky 4 year old who loves something one day and hates it the next eats these and asks for more! I used just wheat flour instead of white or a mix, and I put in 1/4 brown sugar, also left out the cloves.

I love to add it to my oatmeal. Really, I just add it to taste, along with some splenda, pumpkin pie spice, and almond milk.

Here's some recipes I found:

Pumpkin Soup in Pumpkin bowls
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/pumpkin-soup-in-pumpkin-bowls/detail.aspx
I'm sure you don't have to put the soup in the pumpkin bowls as the recipe suggests (although for presentation it would look very pretty).

Pumpkin Pancakes
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/pumpkin-pancakes/detail.aspx
I've made a recipe similar to this in the past and it was very delicious. I'm a pancake lover so I am willing to try different variations. In my version I had walnuts or pecans which go well with the pumpkin but they do up the calorie content quite a bit.

Pumpkin Flax Quickbread

This sounds really healthy and yummy too. And it's vegan
