Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal Bars - Recipe

I found this one on the Weight Watchers Filling Foods board, posted by FREE BEE.


2 cups uncooked oatmeal (quick or old fashioned)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup fat-free skim milk
1/2 cup Egg Beaters or 2 eggs
1/2 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/4 cup Splenda
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon

1. 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.


2. Combine wet ingredients and add dry ingredients. 


3. Bake in sprayed 8" square pan for 35-45 minutes. 


4. Cut into 12 squares.


I used whole eggs and got, per serving: 127 calories, 2.67 g fat, 20 g carbs (3.17 g fiber), 6.25 g protein. 2 WW points/Core friendly.


I ate half a square when they came out of the oven and cooled just a bit. They are really good, not too sweet. Very moist.

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!

Pumpkin Carrot Muffins - Recipe

I found this recipe on SparkPeople.com and it's absolutely wonderful! I make it all the time. I'd like to find a way to lower the carbs a bit, though, or at least make it better carbs, and increase the protein.

1/2 cup pumpkin
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp oil
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup grated carrots
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder

Beat together pumpkin, brown sugar, oil and egg.
Add in carrots.
In a separate bowl, blend together flour, salt, soda, baking powder and cinnamon.
Add to the pumpkin mixture.
Fill muffin tins about 2/3 full.
Bake at 375 degrees for 10-14 minutes. Makes 6 muffins.
