Low-Point Butternut Squash with Crumb Topping
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs

- 1 cup Splenda granulated sugar substitute
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1/4 tsp. salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel, seed, and chop butternut squash. Boil squash in a large sauce pan over medium-high heat until fork can be easily inserted and then mash the squash. Beat eggs until smooth and lemon colored. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well (mixture will be a little runny). Pour mixture in a buttered 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish and bake until set (about 20 to 25 minutes). Remove from oven and cover with crumb topping.
