Pumpkin Nuggets - Recipe

I found this recipe on the Weight Watchers Filling Foods board and figured I'd give it a shot.

1 1/2 c pumpkin
1 1/2 c oats
2 eggs
2-3 tbs Splenda
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tspt ground ginger
1 tbs canola oil (optional)


1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.


2. Mix the ingredients well. Spoon into muffin cups.


3. Bake 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.


Each 2-muffin serving has 141 calories, 5.5 g fat, 18.9 g carbs (4.6 g fiber), 5.6 g protein - 2 WW points/Core friendly.


I love these! My kid loves these. They are quick and easy to make, and kind of a cross between a muffin and cheesecake? I just loved them!

Veggie Burger - Recipe

I stumbled across a recipe for homemade veggie burgers and figured I'd give it a shot for Meatless Monday.

1 (15 oz) can beans
1/2 c dry oats
1/2 oz minced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbs seasoning mix of your choice (I used 1 tsp each of cumin, salt, and chili powder)
2 1/2 oz water

1. Rinse the beans and mash them with a fork, desired consistency.

2. Add add the oats, onion, garlic, and seasoning.

3. Add the water a little bit at a time and mix to desired consistency.

4. Form 4 patties and fry in pan sprayed with nonstick spray.

The exact nutritional information will vary depending on what beans you use, but I used pinto beans to calculate, because that is what the original recipe calls for. Each patty has 131.8 calories, 1.2 g fat, 24.3 g carbs (6.9 g fiber), 6.8 g protein. 2 WW points/Core friendly.
