This recipe is one of my husband’s favorites. He loves pumpkin pie, and I love that this recipe is not only easier on the waistline than most, but clean to boot!
I adapted this recipe from the book, Laurel’s Kitchen Caring: Recipes for Everyday Home Caregiving

Munchkin Helpers:
If you have little ones, here’s how they can help (With close supervision, of course).
Let your little ones mix the ingredients in the bowl. Nothing makes them feel more included than mixing ingredients.
Caution: Any time a child is in the kitchen, they will require close supervision. Munchkin Helpers suggestions should be applied with common sense to your own child, taking their own capabilities into account. Do not assume that because it says here that your child can do something, that they can, in fact do it. Please use common sense when in the kitchen with your child(ren).
