Hello,
I opened a can of pumpkin yesterday and I still have some left, so this morning I decided to be a little experimental and come up with a new recipe for breakfast. Also, I'm staying at my dad's house today, and he has a ~microwave~, a piece of technology I have not had access to in months, so it obviously had to come into play. Anyways, I hope you like it!
Ingredients:
1 extra large egg, whisked very well
2 tablespoons of canned pumpkin
3/4 tablespoon of butter
3 dashes of cinnamon
3 dashes of splenda
1 dash of allspice
1 or 2 drops of vanilla extract
Directions:
Whisk the egg in a bowl. Add a few drops of water, the vanilla extract, a dash of cinnamon, a dash of allspice and a dash or two of splenda. Whisk again until all of the ingredients are well incorporated.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the canned pumpkin with a little cinnamon and splenda. Mix well. Add the egg mixture to the pumpkin and whisk again until the ingredients become homogenized.
Place the butter in a smaller microwave safe bowl with a little more splenda and cinnamon.
Microwave the egg and pumpkin mixture for two minutes. At the end, the concoction should be very fluffy, almost like a custard, or something. Something fluffy. While it cools for a moment, microwave the butter and then pour it on top.
Enjoy!
Notes:
I used the word 'dash' instead of giving exact measurements because, well, your tastes are most likely different from mine. If you are on induction you need to watch your splenda intake! When I made this, it wasn't very sweet, but I try to avoid sweets because they make me feel hungry most of the time. Increasing the amount of cinnamon or something is probably better for you than increasing the splenda. Stevia or something else of that nature would work also work fine.
I added crushed walnuts to mine, but you probably shouldn't do that unless you eat walnuts.
I don't see why this recipe couldn't be doubled or even tripled, but I generally prefer to get my carbs later in the day, so if you decide to try that you might want to cut back on the pumpkin and add cream cheese somehow. Again, watch the splenda!
