Wow! So much fat in this! But very yummy! I used chocolate chips instead of walnuts because I didn't have any. I also used all whole wheat flour instead of half whole wheat and half all purpose. It was very moist (most likely from all that oil!) and delicious! Next time I'm going to substitute applesauce for half of the oil and make it a bit less fattening.

Great recipe! I didn't follow it exactly (I omitted the walnut pieces because I thought it had enough fat with 1 1/4 cups of oil!), but it turned out SO well. Loved it, and so did my guests. I'll be making this again.

I made this tonight and the house smelled wonderful long before it was ready to eat! DH and I both were told this week we need more potassium and pumpkin was a good way to get it. This recipe is a delicious way to get it. I can't wait to make it again, but maybe as cupcakes with cream cheese icing, yummmmm!!
