  • 1

Ingredients

  • Souffle:
  • 3 cups cooked mashed butternut squash (about 2 pounds whole)*
  • 2/3 cup no-calorie granulated sweetener**
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup light sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Topping:
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 3 tablespoons no-calorie granulated sweetener**
  • 3 tablespoons pecans, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 / 2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 2-quart casserole or soufflé dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Place the squash in a large bowl, add the remaining soufflé ingredients, and beat until well blended. Spoon into a baking dish and smooth the top.
3. In a small bowl, combine all of the topping ingredients and mix with a fork or fingers until crumbly. Cover the top of the soufflé with crumb mixture.
4. Bake for 30-35 minutes until soufflé puffs up in the center and top is well browned.

*To Prepare squash; prick squash with a knife in several places and place in microwave (whole). Microwave on high for 8-10 minutes. Remove and cut squash in half lengthwise. When cool enough to handle, scoop out seeds. Place halves, cut-side down, in a glass baking dish; add 1/4 cup of water, cover tightly with plastic wrap (or lid), and place back in microwave for 10 more minutes or until flesh is very soft.

**When using a low-calorie baking blend, like all natural Truvia for Baking, use 1/2 as much.
