amazing! Be sure to use roasted pumpkin, canned pumpkin wil not give you the same results, as well as honeyville flour works great.
I have learned the ingredients make such a difference when making Elana's recipes.THese were one of our favorites. Wil make it again for sure. Topped with a bit of cream cheese frosting from Elana's web site.
HOpe this is helpful.

Tried these today but used Penzey's Pumpkin Pie Spice. I doubled, but used 3 eggs, 1/2 tsp stevia, under 1/2 C honey, EVOO and added baking powder. Also used 15 oz can pumpkin. I baked them for 45 minutes and they probably needed another 5, but were still good. Light texture and very moist. Did NOT need to cool for 2 hours, more like 30 minutes. It will need a bit more stevia or honey and spices, but were still very good. They didn't rise much, but I may have forgotten to double the baking soda too.
