I like the addition of the whole wheat flour to this recipe. Yes, I do think it means we should, or can, eat more of it.
Exactly! And I’m all in on that deal. Haha
I love anything pumpkin!!! This looks so delicious!
Me. too! This is a bit healthier than other versions so I can eat more (at least I think that is how it should work)!
