Ingredients

• 15 oz canned pumpkin puree
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar substitute (like stevia or erythritol)
• 0.25 cup brown sugar substitute
• 1.5 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 15 oz reduced-sugar yellow cake mix
• 4 tbsp light butter (melted)
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans
• 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond milk, eggs, granulated sugar substitute, brown sugar substitute, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

Step 3

Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 4

Sprinkle the reduced-sugar yellow cake mix evenly over the pumpkin layer, ensuring full coverage.

Step 5

Drizzle the melted light butter over the surface of the cake mix, trying to cover as much of it as possible.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top of the butter and cake mix layer.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes. The dessert will firm up as it cools.

Step 9

Cut into 12 equal portions and serve. This dish can be enjoyed warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
