I can't miss out on all the pumpkin goodness this year! I made a few minutes to squeeze in a couple fun pumpkin treats including this semi-healthy & sweet pumpkin cake.
Adapted from here
Ingredients:
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
• 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
• 1 cup flour
• 1 t baking soda
• 1/2 t salt
• 1 t pumpkin pie spice
• powdered sugar
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a 9x9 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Combine butter, brown sugar and eggs in a large bowl.
Add in applesauce and pumpkin puree.
Mix the flour, baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice and then stir into the liquid mixture.
Pour into baking pan and bake for about 25 minutes.
Let cake cool and then top with powdered sugar.
Hubby warmed it and topped it with butter and I ate mine plain with some cold milk. Both ways were delicious!

Low fat and easy - my kind of recipe!
