Lightened Up Pumpkin Pie

November 20, 2021

 

This ligthened up pumpkin pie is the perfect dish to make for Thanksgiving (or really, any time). It’s crustless which eliminates a majority of the fat and calories that traditional pumpkin pie contains.

A typical slice of pumpkin pie contains 323 calories, 13 grams of fat, 46 grams of carbs, 2 grams of fiber, and 5 grams of protein.

My crustless pumpkin pie in comparison contains just 61 calories with 1 gram of fat, 20 grams of carbohydrate, 6 grams of fiber, and 1 gram of protein. And it still tastes amazing!

I enjoyed my slice with some whipped cream and a drizzle of maple syrup.
