Wow, almost 10 year old recipe on this website, but I'm glad I found it! Thanks MissErin!<br/>I was looking for a way to use up some leftover canned pumpkin and gave your recipe a shot. <br/>I used brown sugar and 1c out of 3 as whole wheat flour as substitutions, and the recipe worked really well. It's a thick batter, but came out very moist and full of lovely flavor and a rich brown color. Thought a caramel sauce would be good over it, but only had time to serve it with ice cream. (might have what little is left with my coffee at breakfast!)
