Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup medjool dates, packed
- 2 Tbsp. vanilla unsweetened almond milk
- 4 ounces Neufchatel cheese, softened to room temperature
- 8-10 drop stevia or 1-2 packets non-caloric sweetener
- 2 Tbsp. egg whites
- ½ tsp. vanilla bean paste or extract
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 Tbsp. sugar-free maple syrup
- 3 Tbsp. egg whites
- 2 Tbsp. vanilla unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spray a mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. If desired, criss-cross 2 small strips of parchment paper (about 1 inch thick and 4 inches long) in the bottom of each muffin cup to assist with removal of the pies after baking.
- Combine crust ingredients in a food processor. Process until dough-like consistency is achieved (mixture should stick together when pressed). Evenly distribute crust into 16 mini muffin cups (~1 tbsp).
- To make the cream cheese filling, beat together cream cheese, sweetener, egg whites and vanilla in a small bowl. Spoon ~1 tablespoon of the cream cheese filling into each muffin cup.
- To make the pumpkin filling, beat together pumpkin puree, maple syrup, egg whites, almond milk and pumpkin pie spice in a small bowl. Spoon ~1 tablespoon of the pumpkin filling into each muffin cup, creating a second layer.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Remove and cool completely before removing from muffin cups.
