Skinny Pumpkin Pie Cups

DSC_0808

There is just something about Fall that makes me LOVE this season more than any other.  Maybe it’s the cute scarves and boots we get to get all bundled up in or the pretty foliage that starts to poke its way out once the summer heat has faded away, but either way my favorite part about Fall would have to be the abundance of pumpkin recipes!  Whether I’m starting my morning off with a pumpkin spiced latte from Starbucks or enjoying a delicious pumpkin muffin for breakfast, this Fall favorite can add flare to any old recipe.

 Since Erin, from the fabulous blog Dinners, Dishes and Desserts, asked me to guest post while she moves this weekend, I thought this would be the perfect recipe to share with everyone!

These Pumpkin Pie Cups make perfect healthy alternatives to your typical slice of indulgent pumpkin pie just in time for Thanksgiving.  Best part is you can have one entire bowl for just 172 calories and ZERO grams of fat!

Yes I did in fact say zero.

Doesn’t get much better than that and I promise you they taste delicious.  I loved the slight crunch the cornflakes added to this dish and the combination of pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg was amazing!  Make these for guests at your next dinner party or throw them together when you want to indulge in something sweet without having the unnecessary calories.  It’s so quick and easy!

Ummm note to self...next time strategically place spoons so you CAN'T see yourself taking pictures.
Fail.

For this delicious skinny recipe and more pictures, head on over to Erin's blog and don't forget to tell her I said hello!

Also, the lovely Megan from Across the Pond is featuring me on her blog today as well!  {Remember she's the one who coined the amazing term "blate"}  Over there you'll find out a little more about why I started my blog and what I love most in life.


Which is Oliver of course.
Who just got a haircut for the holidays.
So handsome.

Wow, those look really good, and I LOVE the fact they have NO fat!! BTW, I always notice reflections in items in photos, I get a kick out of some things you can see! Sometimes, I intentionally put weird things in mine just to see if anyone notices!

Renee said...

Hey Kelly,

I'm trying to view your lightened up lemon pound cake from google reader but it says your site doesn't exist. I also tried viewing it on your homepage here and couldn't find it.

Is there anyway you could repost? or maybe email me the recipe?

Mother Rimmy said...

Great job on the pumpkin dessert. I'm not a fan of heavy pies, so I'm sure I'd love this. Your puppy is so darling!

Cannot wait to try this recipe! Thanks so much for sharing it looks amazing. And, I totally didnt see you in the spoon taking the photo until you said something!! I have a yorkie too, Cody. He is the greatest little guy in the world! Yorkies rule.

Kim Bee said...

We need to have a blate and hook Oliver up with Malia. She'd think he was so handsome. You are stunning me as always. Was over visiting your blate earlier tonight. Am now off to visit Erin. Is she not the coolest? Love her.

Ann said...

The pumpkin pie cups look amazing and I'm headed over to check them out! I have Sunny Pup the sweet, crazy Yorkie who has grown...and grown...and grown! She just went in for her 1 year old check up and is a WHOPPING 7 pounds. When we picked her up at 31 ounces from the breeder, we were expecting 3-5 pounds! I suspect Oliver and Sunny would have a fun time together!

Off to Erin's blog....
