I still have two cans of pumpkin left from this fall when I was making pumpkin muffins a lot - does anyone have any good (and not overkill on the calories) pumpkin recipes for me? :-)

    won't get rid of it quickly, but I read in a fitness mag to mix a little pumpkin puree with plain or vanilla yogurt, add a little nutmeg and its a sweet and healthy dessert

    I've been making "pumpkin pudding" - 1 can pumpkin, 1 container fat free cool whip, 2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. nutmeg, tip of a tsp. of ground cloves. Mix ingredients together and chill. I really like it and it's pretty low cal.

    When you are DYING for brownies, add one can of pumpkin to a boxed mix. Stir it up and bake. Add nothing else.

    If you're making a box mix of cake or cookies, use pumpkin instead of eggs & oil. This is especially nice in brownies! Very moist.

    That's so yummy and was exactly what I was going to suggest as well! I recall seeing this when I was doing WW years ago and it being called pumpkin fluff! Same thing, different names :D I would make this for get togethers and serve with graham crackers. Yum!

    1/3 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

    Chocolate Pumpkin Pie Brownies

    http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/11/11/chocolate-pumpkin-pie-brownies/

    I made these last night using almond milk and stevia. I think next time I'll use only 1/2 cup sugar and 2 T oil. You can omit the chocolate chips, they are chocolatey enough without the chips.

    One box of dry cake mix. One egg. One can of pumpkin. (I would totally go for spice cake, but have made this with chocolate also) Mix together and bake like the box says. I love it and you cut out all the oil fat and 2 eggs worth. You can sprnkle a tiny bit of choc chips in or sprinkle a tinsy bit of powdered sugar on top. It's a yummy dessert without too much guilt.

    My sister sneaks pumpkin into her meals at home to add extra nutrients and her family doesn't know. She adds pumpkin to pancakes, chili, and spaghetti sauce.

    I don't know the cals. but in WW it's 2 points. Mix a can of pumkin with a cake mix (spice or chocolate) with alittle water. spoon mixture into muffin pans. bake at 350 tell done in middle. I like to freeze them and add a little fat free cool whip.

    I like the pudding idea, I'll have to try that.

    add 1 can of pumpkin puree to a box of sugar free devil's food cake (pilsbury) and make chocolate muffins. If you can stretch it out to 18 muffins the NI is 84 cals, 20 carbs, 2 fat, 2 protein. If you only make 12 then it's 127, 31, 4, and 2.

    If anyone here uses whey protein in their diet... this is a delicious option for a shake. Use 1/2 can pumpkin puree, 1 cup soymilk, 1 cup ice, 1/4 tsp nutmeg and 1 scoop of vanilla whey protein in the blender. My husband loves these too!

    In addition to the above recipes I also like to add 1/4 cup to my morning oatmeal and then add pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and stevia. So good and filling!

    I make homemade pumpkin protein muffins a lot.

    2 egg whites, 1/4 c pumpkin puree, 1 tbsp flour (I use wheat- you can also use 2 tbsp if you want), 1/4 tsp baking powder, 2 tsp stevia (I use no sweetener personally but the recipe does call for it), 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder

    Spray microwave safe bowl with nonstick spray, combine all ingredients in bowl and whisk

    microwave 2-4 minutes.. voila! Yum!

    I've heard of cake mix (especially spice) and pumkin and nothing else, but not brownies. Very interesting. That will be on my try list.
