Notes

  1. * You can use canned pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie puree) or make your own at home using this recipe.
  2. ** If you do not have apple sauce in hand, you can substitute with more pumpkin puree.
  3. *** If you prefer sweeter, incorporate additional coconut sugar (around 1/4 cup depending on preference) along with the dry ingredients.
  4. ****Remember to sift all dry ingredients to provide a smoother batter and ensure that all ingredients are combined evenly.
