300 Calorie Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Cake

The weather is cooling down, which is totally getting me into the Autumn spirit - which means....

Pumpkin!

I love baking with pumpkin, it is a great substitute for oil and it really adds bulk to my baked goods without adding many calories - it also has a lot of nutritional benefits

Today I made a Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Cake!

This cake is gluten free, dairy free, and only has 300 calories in the whole loaf!

Recipe: 

Cake:

3/4 cup Pumpkin Puree - 60 calories

1/4 cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce - 25 calories

1/2 cup Oat Flour - 180 calories

1 egg white - 17 calories

1 tablespoon Stevia

1/2 teaspoon baking soda                     

= 282 calories

Cinnamon Swirl:

1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk - 10 calories

1 tablespoon Stevia

1 tablespoon Cinnamon and Pumpkin Pie Spice    

Total = 292 in whole cake

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix together the pumpkin, apple sauce, flour, 1 tablespoon Stevia, the baking soda and an egg white
3. Pour the mixture into a greased loaf pan (or 2 mini loaf pans)
4. Mix together the cinnamon swirl - almond milk, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice, and stevia
5. Pour the cinnamon mixture on top of the pumpkin cake batter and swirl with a fork or spoon
6. Bake for about 40 minutes - remove from oven, let cool, and store leftovers in the refrigerator

This is what the cake looked like when it came out of the oven! The cinnamon really darkened nicely, but if you want more of an orange look to the cake you could use less of the cinnamon topping
