This was good I used whole wheat flour and really like the heartiness it goes nicely with the pumpkin flavor I only had applesauce with cinnamon in it so I didn't add anymore cinnamon I kept the rest recipe the same but I'm tempted to experiment and use splenda in place on the sugar and see how that works...
