It might seem like pumpkin is on repeat here, but nothing wrong with trying to find another way to enjoy pumpkin this time of year – am I right?! Lovers of this seasonal flavor sensation will love my Lower Carb Pumpkin Maple Tres Leche Cake, a not-so-classic take on a popular Mexican dessert (which means “three milks” cake in Spanish).

Not only does it (lip) smack of pumpkin spice and maple, this pretty much sugar-free cake is free of table sugar (duh), taking the cake down from 56g carbs to just 18g carbs (and 500 calories to 358 calories) thanks to natural sweetener alternatives . . . aka, it’s sugar swap time!  Impress your guests with this feast-worthy and feel good yet low-carb dessert for the holidays – hint, hint, Thanksgiving dessert idea!
