While the gettin's good

'Tis the season for pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and I'm using my love affair with autumn as an excuse to try out some new dishes. On Saturday I bought a can of pumpkin and a bottle of sugar-free maple syrup, and since then the eatin' in this house just hasn't been the same. One day I will have a website devoted to all of my Weight Watchers recipes, but until then I'll just publish them here.

Maple Pumpkin Oatmeal (2 Points)
1/3 cup dry old-fashioned oatmeal
2/3 cup water
2 Tbsp. canned pure pumpkin
2 Tbsp. sugar-free maple syrup
2 packets Sweet 'N Low
dash pumpkin pie spice
dash cinnamon

Mix water and oatmeal together in a bowl and microwave on 50% power for 2 minutes, then stir and microwave on 50% power for another 2 minutes. When oatmeal is cooked, add remaining ingredients and mix well to combine.

Spiced French Toast with Maple Pumpkin Sauce (2 Points)
1/3 cup egg whites
dash pumpkin pie spice
2 slices Nature's Own Light Honey Wheat Bread
1 Tbsp. canned pure pumpkin
2 Tbsp. sugar-free maple syrup
dash cinnamon
fat-free Reddi-Whip (optional)

Mix egg whites and pumpkin pie spice together in a large bowl. Dip bread into egg whites, making sure to adequately coat both sides of each slice. Spray a frying pan with nonstick cooking spray and "fry" the toast. While toast is frying, mix pumpkin, syrup, and cinnamon together to make the sauce. When toast is golden, plate and pour sauce on top. Garnish with Reddi-Whip if desired.
