Good flavor and smelled great while baking. They were super soft and cake-like in texture. My kids really enjoyed them. I added raisins and craisins, and the craisins were great with the pumpkin.

Enjoyed making these ~ The smell in the kitchen & the taste afterwards! Great! Used canned pumpkin for these & that worked out fine! Guests tonight will love them, I know (Now I just have to keep my hands off them until later!)! Thank you for posting your recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's PAC]
