Friday Night Dessert Night: 100 Calorie Flourless Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes

Friday night we decided to make something pumpkin again.

A few weeks ago we made Impossible Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes and they were delicious.

But, we are leaning toward mostly gluten-free around here (not because of an intolerance, but only a sensitivity!). So occasionally it is really exciting to find a really yummy dessert that I can make AND eat!

The bonus to this dessert...it is only about 100 calories a serving!

100 Calorie Flourless Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes

adapted from Very Best Baking

Ingredients

16 foil cupcake liners (I used silicone cups and it worked great!)

non-stick cooking spray

3/4 cup white sugar

1 tbsp cornstarch

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp salt

2 large egg whites

1 15 oz. can pure pumpkin

1 12 oz. can fat free evaporated milk

fat free whipped cream

12 small gingersnap cookies, grumbled

Directions

Preheat oven to 350.

Spray cupcake liners with non-stick spray and lay out on a cookie sheet.

Combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, and salt in a small bowl. Beat egg whites in a large bowl. Stir in pumpkin and sugar mixture. Gradually stir in evaporated milk. Spoon 1/4 cup of the mixture into each prepared cup.

Bake for 25-28 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on baking sheet for 20 minutes. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Enjoy!
They really taste like pumpkin pie!
