It is Thanksgiving weekend here in Ontario, Canada, and pumpkin pies will be enjoyed by millions! Store-bought pies are usually loaded with sugar and will not be very points-friendly when it comes to Weight Watchers. I wanted to create a lightened-up pumpkin pie dessert to help those of us who want to join in on dessert but want to stay on track with our goals throughout the holidays. These Weight Watchers pumpkin pie squares are better for portion control and they are absolutely delicious. You won’t feel like you’re missing out at all!
I used nonfat Greek yogurt and lowered the sugar to bring them in at just 3 points each on Weight Watchers. If you’re not on Weight Watchers, but you are tracking your calories, pumpkin pie squares are a great option for you too. One square is just 93 calories which is much better compared to a slice of pumpkin pie that can easily be over 300 calories. They need some time to set in the fridge after baking so they are the perfect make-ahead dessert.
INGREDIENTS
- 1.5 cups graham crumbs
- 2 tablespoon light butter melted (I used Gay Lea)
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1.5 cups canned pumpkin
- 1 cup plain non fat greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoon flour
- 2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a 9-inch dish with some parchment paper and lightly spray.
- In a dish, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and water together. Pat the crumb mixture down into the 9-inch dish and pre-bake the crust for 8 minutes. Remove it from the oven but leave the oven on.
- In a bowl, mix together the eggs and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Then stir in the pumpkin puree, nonfat Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract.
- Gently mix in the all purpose flour, spices, and salt. Once it is well blended, pour it out into the dish on top of crumbs and bake for 45 minutes. Make sure the middle is set and does not jiggle.
- Let it cool completely, then refrigerate (covered) for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Cut into 16 squares and serve. It’s best if stored in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
