It is Thanksgiving weekend here in Ontario, Canada, and pumpkin pies will be enjoyed by millions! Store-bought pies are usually loaded with sugar and will not be very points-friendly when it comes to Weight Watchers. I wanted to create a lightened-up pumpkin pie dessert to help those of us who want to join in on dessert but want to stay on track with our goals throughout the holidays. These Weight Watchers pumpkin pie squares are better for portion control and they are absolutely delicious. You won’t feel like you’re missing out at all! 

I used nonfat Greek yogurt and lowered the sugar to bring them in at just 3 points each on Weight Watchers. If you’re not on Weight Watchers, but you are tracking your calories, pumpkin pie squares are a great option for you too. One square is just 93 calories which is much better compared to a slice of pumpkin pie that can easily be over 300 calories. They need some time to set in the fridge after baking so they are the perfect make-ahead dessert. 

Happy Thanksgiving to all my avid readers! 🙂 

Three reasons why you need to make this recipe! 

It’s a lightened-up pumpkin pie!

As we already talked about, these are very low in calories and Weight Watchers points. So low, in fact, you can probably enjoy two of them and still not wreck your day of points. 

You can make it ahead of time. 

With all of the other dishes that need to be prepped for a Thanksgiving feast, you need some that can be done in advance. This one needs to sit in the fridge for a bit, so why not make it the day before and let it sit overnight? That’s what I did! 

Weight Watchers Pumpkin Pie Squares have less than half the sugar of a regular pumpkin pie slice. 

Each Weight Watcher Pumpkin Pie Square has only 9 grams of sugar in it. That may sound like a lot until you compare it to the 25-30 grams of sugar a regular pumpkin pie slice has. Even without all the sugar, these still taste amazing. 

Ingredients you need to make Weight Watchers Pumpkin Pie Squares: 

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons light butter, melted 
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1.5 cups canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

How to make Weight Watchers Pumpkin Pie Squares (step by step): 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a 9-inch dish with some parchment paper and lightly spray.
  2. In a dish, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and water together. Pat the crumb mixture down into the 9-inch dish and pre-bake the crust for 8 minutes. Remove it from the oven but leave the oven on.
  3. In a bowl, mix together the eggs and brown sugar until light and fluffy.  Then stir in the pumpkin puree, nonfat Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gently mix in the all purpose flour, spices, and salt. Once it is well blended, pour it out into the dish on top of crumbs and bake for 45 minutes. Make sure the middle is set and does not jiggle. 
  5. Let it cool completely, then refrigerate (covered) for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  6. Cut into 16 squares and serve. It’s best if stored in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.

Different ways to change up this recipe: 

  • You can use Swerve brown sugar instead of regular brown sugar to lower the points and calories. But since it’s already pretty low in points and calories, there’s really no need to make that sacrifice. 
  • Serve the squares will a little dollop of Light Cool Whip on top with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for a pretty presentation.  

Tips and Tricks for Making Weight Watchers Pumpkin Pie Squares: 

  • When checking to see if the pumpkin pie squares are done, the whole thing can “move back and forth” but you don’t want to see “ripples.” That’s how you know it’s done completely, but not so overdone that it’ll crack. 
  • I highly suggest letting these sit overnight rather than just a few hours. The flavors blend better together, and it saves you a bit of time!
