  1. (I think you forgot to list the sugar in 2. of the instructions.)

    Looks nice! I’m going to try it with sweet potato, which I have at home.
    I’m going to cut way down on the sugar, and the oil.

  2. Can you use pumpkin pie mix instead of pureed pumpkin?

    1. I would not recommend pumpkin mix as it has added sugars and spices.

  3. Can you use canned ‘pure’ pumpkin instead of pureed pumpkin?
