Pumpkin pie does have a healthier alternative
Say what? No real, traditional pumpkin pie made with a heavy dose of granulated sugar and sweetened condensed milk? Actually, your guests can enjoy eating pies that are just as delightful as pumpkin pie but with a twist of fewer calories. Look for scrumptious and healthier alternatives that will have them begging for seconds. Oatmeal-nut crunch apple pie and gingered cranberry-pear cobbler are among the alternatives.
The BettyCrocker skinny pumpkin pie recipe offers to make a pie that contains 80% less saturated fat and 24% less calories per serving. It says “the real secret” is in the preparation of the crust. If you’re not sold on the idea of chucking in the pumpkin pie, you can instead make it using maple syrup and fat-free evaporated milk. The natural sweetness of this syrup makes the pie flavorful and less fattening than traditional pumpkin pie.
