To make this recipe paleo I substituted flour 1:1 with cassava flour and coconut sugar instead of cane. I also didn't have vanilla so I skipped it. The texture was great, but I couldn't deny the presence of a squash flavor. I think this would've been improved somewhat with vanilla. Overall, pretty good!
