Here's another pumpkin recipe for you: Skinny Pumpkin Cheesecake. I found this recipe on Healthy Recipes and fell in love! Super easy to make and after a few modifications to the original recipe, each cheesecake comes up to just under 100 calories! Guilt free and delicious!
This is an easy one: in a bowl, combine one cup of pumpkin puree, half a cup of light cream cheese, half a cup of light smooth ricotta cheese, two large eggs and one teaspoon of vanilla. Mix well, then add half a cup of whole wheat flour, half a cup of sugar, one teaspoon of baking powder, a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon and an eight teaspoon of nutmeg.
Line a cupcake pan with liners and coat with cooking spray. Pour batter into liners. Each liner should be about three quarters of the way full.
Bake at 350° F for 25-30 minutes. Let cool for 10-15 minutes, remove liners, and refrigerate for one hour before serving.
