Hey Sues, thanks for reading! I have tweaked Martha’s original recipe here to include more pumpkin – dunno if you noticed. I thought the original recipe didn’t include enough!

Jill – I think you might be right re fresh pumpkin puree – but maybe someone else will comment. The canned version is not as liquidy – you can get it at any supermarket/whole foods/etc. and it’s great mixed into yogurt (add a little pumpkin pie spice and some sweetener of your choice, top w/chopped nuts), added to your a.m. oatmeal – the sky’s the limit! Good vits and a bit o’ fiber.

I LOVE pumpkin desserts, and I happen to have a pumpkin (that has not been carved or painted for Halloween). Do you think it would work with actual pureed pumpkin? I’m not really sure what the canned stuff (not the pie filling) looks like. I’m wondering if the real stuff would be too watery.

Hi Kelly – you know, these are not overtly pumkin-y . . . even though there’s a lot of pumpkin in there. Not as subtle as zucchini bread, but not as in-your-face as pumpkin pie, either. If you try them, let me know what you think!

I’m not usually a fan of pumpkin desserts, but the addition of pumpkin makes these more up my alley.
