Equipment

12 cup muffin tin
muffin liners, metal

Ingredients

16 muffin sized foil baking cups
2 cups pumpkin puree
12 ounces fat free evaporated milk keto can use full fat version
2 large egg whites
1/2 cup Stevia Swerve or other plant based sugar substitute
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon powder
1/2 tsp. salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350º F.
If you can only find the tin baking cups that are lined with paper, carefully remove the paper lining, then spray each cup with cooking spray. Place baking cups on a baking sheet.
Mix the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger and salt in small bowl. Beat egg whites in larger bowl until fluffy. Stir in pumpkin and sugar mixture, and then gradually add in evaporated milk. Carefully spoon the mixture in each cup until at least 3/4 full.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until knife inserted near centers comes out clean. Cool on baking sheet for 20 minutes.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving, longer for the flavours to meld.
Keep your toppings healthy. I love non-fat greek yoghurt sweetened with a bit of honey. You could also use low fat whipped topping or frozen yoghurt. I had some dark chocolate wafers on hand, but also consider a bit of crumbled graham wafers or ginger cookies.
