To-Die-For Pumpkin Pie

Another Hungry Girl Recipe that I think I just might have to try! Pumpkin Pie is always popular in our house so why not try and make it a little healthier!!

I have not tried this one yout, but will post my comments on it after I try it!

Ingredients:

For Crust
2 cups Fiber One bran cereal (original)
1/4 cup light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like Brummel & Brown); melted & mixed with 1 oz. water
3 tbsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, granulated
1 tsp. cinnamon

For Filling
One 15-oz. can pure pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
One 12-oz. can evaporated fat-free milk
3/4 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, granulated
1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters)
1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup
1 tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. salt

Optional Topping: Fat Free Reddi-wip

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a blender or food processor, grind Fiber One to a breadcrumb-like consistency.
Combine crumbs with all other crust ingredients.
Stir until mixed well.
In an oven-safe 9-inch pie dish sprayed lightly with nonstick spray, evenly distribute mixture, using your hands or a flat utensil to firmly press and form the crust.
Press it into the edges and up along the sides of the dish.
Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients for the filling.
Mix well.
Pour mixture into pie crust. (Filling may be taller than the crust -- trust us, this is okay!)
Bake pie in the oven for 45 minutes, and then remove it and allow to cool.

Chill in the fridge for several hours (for best results, chill overnight).
Cut into 8 slices, and if you like, top with Reddi-wip before serving!
