    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.

    A personal favorite and lower on cals, but still nutritous (all things considered): http://www.earfullofpumpkin.blogspot.com/2011/01/no-dimethylopolysiloxane-pumpkin-walnut.html

    AND

    Pumpkin chili:
    1 Pound ground turkey
    1 Small onion, chopped
    1 Clove garlic, minced
    2 Cans diced tomatoes
    1 Can kidney or black beans
    1 Cup pumpkin puree
    1 Tablespoon chili powder, or to taste
    1 Teaspoon cumin, or to taste
    1 or 2 Chipotle peppers
    Black Pepper


    Cook the ground turkey, onion, and garlic together to brown the meat. If you used the turkey, there shouldn't be much fat to skim off, but if there is, go ahead and drain the meat/onion mixture. Return the pan to the heat and add your 'maters, beans, spices, and puree. Mix well and let simmer on low for about 20-30 minutes.

    I love pumpkin!!!

    I made pumpkin pie jam! Just use the canned pumpkin instead of fruit (You might need to add some water to thin it a bit). Add pumpkin pie spice and (optional) some chopped pecans! It turned out fantastic. Now I can have pumpkin pie for breakfast, on bread or in my yogurt.

    I make punpkin granola ALL THE TIME! It's so good and filling to eat in the morning, and the leftover milk is deliciously flavored by the spices! Mmmmmm. Plus it uses less than half a can of pumpkin, so you can make a double batch!

    http://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/pumpkin-granola/

    It's pretty customizable. I leave out the pepitas (they do awful things to my stomach), and add sliced almonds and pecans, and use golden raisins for the dried fruit (though blueberries are good as well).

    When I put it into MFP's recipe calculator, it's about 120 calories per 4 oz serving, depending on what ingredients you use.

    Enjoy!
