My favorite food EVER --

1 can pure pumpkin
1 cup egg whites
2 tablespoons splenda
cinnamon
pumpkin pie spice

Mix together above ingredients in a bowl and then portion into 4 tupperware containers. When ready to eat, sprinkle in a bit of baking soda (and some mini chocolate chips if you'd like), mix, and then put in the microwave for 2.5 minutes. When it comes out, crush a graham cracker overtop, drizzle some Walden Farms caramel syrup, 2 tablespoons Fat Free Cool Whip, and a final dash of pumpkin pie spice. 140 calories (without the chocolate chips) and soooooooooo filling and yummmmyyyy.
I literally eat this everyday. I'm a huge pumpkin pie fan and this totally satiates my sweet tooth!

    I'm not much of a cook so do you know why the baking soda is needed? Just wondering if it is a deal breaker. Too much sodium in it for me so I don't want to try this and wreck it without it.

    I'm pretty sure pumpkin is one of the basic food groups. Can't wait to try this. :):bigsmile:

    It likely helps with the rise, however I find that eggs in a microwave tend to rise pretty well on their own.
    You could try beating the egg whites first to incorporate more air and leave the baking soda out all together.

    Yep.. it helps it rise. You don't NEED it.. but I love anyway to make my food look like even more food. haha

    I've experimented with something like this by using my grandmother's pumpkin pie recipe. I used 1% milk instead of whole and Splenda instead of sugar, but followed the rest of the recipe. I poured the mixture into glass custard cups and baked them in the regular oven. it tasted exactly like my grandmother's pie , minus the crust. I stored them in the refrigerator and ate one a day. I will try it again this week and enter it as a recipe to determine the nutrients. Pumpkin is a superfood. I try to eat as many of those as I can.
