Thank you, thank you, thank you...I absolutely love pumpkin pie and I have been searching for a healthier alternative :)
Here are two recipes of my own that I think are very bariatric friendly and everyone loves (seriously I have never had one person say they didn't love these:

http://www.mybigfatfoodie.com/latin-5-bean-salad-or-as-i-lik e-to-call-it-cinco/
This one is certainly low carb, but has fat in it. Maybe try with reduced fat mayo and some leaner meats anyway, this also is a crowd pleaser.

fructose in most processed foods is actually concentrated fructose. fructose as we know it is actually not from fruits, it is actually man made. the fructose that naturally occurs in in fruits/plants is called levulose. they may all fall under fructose, but they are not the same thing. do not fall for the whole sugar is sugar propaganda. because believe me the body can tell the difference. do your research and i wish u the best.
Since this isn't my recipe I had to get addl info from my friend. This is what she said:
"it kind of depends on what you're putting in the muffins. With just sausage and spinach, I use 9-10 eggs, a couple tablespoons of olive oil and a couple tablespoons of water when I beat the eggs. If you use broccoli/onions/etc, you'll possibly use less. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes -- until the eggs are set."
I gather by her response that it's just sort of free form. You can add sausage, or bacon, plus any other ingredients you like. I think some cheese would be great too....but you could add some pico de gallo for a spicier version if you can tolerate it. I think the options are pretty endless, depending on your own likes and dislikes. Hope the addl info is helpful.
I take a container of vanilla greek yogurt
add a few tablespoons of canned pumpkin (good source of fiber)
and a little sprinkle of splenda brown sugar (you can omit this)
and a sprinkle of cinnamon....
Mix and BINGO.....tastes like pumpkin pie!!
I just love this....feels like I am eating a "guilty treat" and with thanksgiving coming up I can have "pumpkin pie" too!!
