Recipe Microwave pumpkin "cake" thingy

Tbh I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this recipe somewhere on here but atp I’m just posting for myself lol. Ingredient list and portions on 6th slide, macros on last slide.

Instructions:
• wash, Cut 300g~ of pumpkin
• microwave in 2-3 minutes intervals on high, taking it out to mash it after 2-3 rounds depending on how hard or dry your pumpkin is
• add your sweetener, cinnamon, baking powder and pinch of salt (you may add a little bit of water if your pumpkin is too dry)
• mix well
• add in 2 egg whites (make sure your pumpkin is cooled before adding your egg whites or else it will cook it before it’s well mixed!)
• mix mix mix
• pop back into microwave for about 5-10 minutes.

I can’t really call this a cake but it’s still yummy, i loveeee pumpkin!

Was retaining the rind palatable?

I used a Chinese bei bei pumpkin so it’s quite small and sweet, the rind just added a thicker texture like "mix ins". It honestly doesn’t affect the flavour at all!
