"I may have gotten a little carried away over the holidays when it came to buying canned pumpkin. The last two years there was a canned pumpkin shortage and I didn't want to run out of it in the middle of the year when there are no cans of pumpkin in the grocery store. Now I find myself with a large stockpile of canned pumpkin, just in case. We have Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins and Cookies regularly. But I wanted to change it up a little! Here is a fun new recipe I encourage you to try."

YUM! Made the recipe as instructed with the addition of sprinkling some cinnamon sugar on top just before baking. While it's not a "pretty" dish, it tastes wonderful with just the right amount of spice!
