Sorry I feel like I'm bombarding the food board today but catching up with the stuff I neglected to post this week. Okay let's be honest, this isn't desert, but it's as close as I'm going to come to it right now, so I decided to enjoy it.

Fall weather is here in Texas and it’s time to make something with pumpkin that’s still sleeve friendly. I adapted this from eggface’s pumpkin ricotta bake. It would actually make a nice Breakfast dish as well.

Ingredients

2 eggs beaten

1 c ricotta cheese

1/2 c pumpkin puree

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1/2 c sugar-free Caramel syrup (I used Torani)

1 packet Stevia (optional)

Toppings

Handful of dried craisins

Handful of slivered almonds

Method

1. Mix together all ingredients. Pour into greased pan.

2. Sprinkle toppings .

3. Bake at 350 degrees for an hour or until knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Really, does it get simpler than this?

4. Let it cool or eat warm with whipped cream.

I LOVE PUMPKIN!!!

I got some purée and put it on my Greek yogurt with pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract and stevia yummy!

Oh and I saw this ..

omg that looks so good! And we just got a little ice cream maker thingy so I will un-virginate that thing with this recipe! Thanks for sharing.

This is getting baked tomorrow!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Mine is in the oven now... I doubled the recipe and used 1/3 c measuring cups in cupcake pans... I got a dozen.. I am not sure how long they are going to bake.. I put them in for 15 minutes and then I'll check them... I can't wait!

SOOOOO.....how long did you bake them for in the muffin pan??

Hi there! All my recipes are high protein and very easy to make. You can find them on www.sleevers.wordpress.com

Just signed up to follow. What is in pumpkin spice. Can't get it here so I would have to make it. Nutmeg and cinnamon?

Is this a main or a dessert?

Pumpkin pie spice:

2 Tbsp ground cinnamon

1 Tbsp ground ginger

2 tsp ground nutmeg

½ tsp allspice

½ tsp ground cloves

Mix together. I'd say it's more snack/dessert because it is a bit sweet but ever so lightly so.

I baked mine for 25-30 minutes. You just have to check them by sticking a toothpick in the center.. If it comes out clean, they are done!

Thanks for the spice recipe. I will have to make my own pumpkin purée, which is not a big issue. Can't get Torani here so will look for an alternative or just use vanilla essence.

Honestly I am not sure how much the pumpkin syrup added to it. Add some kind of fake sweetener and go a little heavy on pumpkin spice and vanilla essence and it should be as good.

Thanks for the recipe, GG, I have some ricotta to use up, so now I know what I'm going to make!
