What size of a can of pumpkin did you use?
I buy both small and large cans it depends how much baking I am doing, the recipe calls for 1/3 cup 🙂
Could I substitute the pumpkin for something else?
banana or apple sauce maybe??
So glad to see these without the banana. I will definitely be making these! Enjoy your posts and recipes.
