Ingredients

1 package yellow cake mix
4 eggs, 1 for cake, 3 for filling
2 sticks butter, melted, 1 for cake, 1 for filling
1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 (16 oz) box powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 º. Grease a 13 by 9 baking dish.
In medium bowl, add the yellow cake mix, 1 egg and 1 stick melted butter and mix to combine. Pat the mixture into prepared baking dish.
In a large bowl, add the pumpkin puree and cream cheese, and using an electric hand mixer, beat until smooth. Add the 3 eggs, 1 stick melted butter and vanilla beat until combined. Add the powdered sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg, mix well.
Spread pumpkin mixture over cake batter and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Make sure not to over bake as the center should be a little gooey.
Serve with fresh whipped cream.

Why this Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake works for PCOS

Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
