I LOVE this recipe – so thanks for sharing!!. I have been eating it every morning this week, topped with non fat cottage cheese and a table spoon of no sugar maple syrup. Sometimes I also swap out the pumpkin and add applesauce instead. I don’t add the stevia, and it’s still got a good hint of sweet. Have also tried adding frozen blueberries to the mix before microwaving. Good too!

Do you think there’s any way to make this using a toaster oven or conventional oven? My microwave has recently gone kaput. haha.

This looks AWESOME, but I think your measurements might be off…I did it and it turned into this soupy mess – not cake-like at all. Are you sure you use 1/4 cup egg whites….seems much too liquidy…
