We are very excited for Thursday! Gathering with friends and family is so rewarding and warming at this time of year. We can’t wait to see people who are traveling to see us, and we’re looking forward to seeing how big the kids in our family have grown! However, those of us with blood sugar concerns may not look forward to the actual meal.
It can be depressing or awkward to skip desserts when you’re with your family. And, around the holidays, it’s disheartening to be left out. So, today, we have five low-carb pumpkin desserts for you to enjoy! The highest calorie treat is 132 calories; the highest in carbohydrates is 7.3 grams. The taste of pumpkin and pumpkin spice is sure to warm you in this chilly weather! Hopefully, one of these delicious recipes tickles your fancy and graces your table this holiday season!
We’re suckers for cupcakes. Nothing makes us happier than individual cakes with icing. These are different; alldayidearmaboutfood.com describes them as being like a crustless pumpkin pie. We like the texture of these cupcakes—and the use of fresh whipped cream as icing. Each cake has 70 calories, 5.1 grams of carbs and 2.2 grams of fiber. Get the recipe.
Push up pops bring us back to the ‘60s! There is still something novel about them decades later. But, don’t worry, if you don’t have push up molds, these can easily be made in small paper cups and popsicle sticks or served just as a frozen dessert in a bowl. These are creamy and taste of pumpkin spice for a holiday treat. They are a fun alternative to pumpkin pie! A serving has 77 calories and 1.1 grams of carbs. Get the recipe.
Despite having a long bake time, the pumpkin puree in these cookies keeps them chewy and moist. The recipe makes 12 large cookies that are flourless and sweet! We suggest letting them cool. The recipe says you can have them warm or cold. We think they are a little too soft straight out the oven. Each cookie has 88 calories, 4.7 grams of carbs and 2.8 grams of fiber. Get the recipe.
Usually, we associate fudge with being on vacation in resort towns. However, this fudge is filled with fall-flavors and comes out of your own kitchen. If you don’t want to turn on the oven, this is the treat for you, as it’s a no-bake recipe. Two squares of fudge have 129 calories, 7.3 grams of carbs and 4.5 grams of fiber. Get the recipe.
These bars have a cake under and coffeecake crumb. We like that as it makes them almost an anytime treat instead of specifically dessert. It’s a deliciously moist cake, and while it could go with morning coffee, we think it’s the perfect way to finish an evening. A slice is 132 calories, 5.3 grams of carbs and 2.6 grams of fiber. Get the recipe.
We hope these tasty treats make an appearance at your holiday gathering. We’re fans of all of them!
