“Absolutely delicious! Made this for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit. I added more maple syrup for batter and used whole wheat flour. I was able to make 10 mini breads. Came out so moist and the perfect amount of spices to compliment the pumpkin. Definitely w” — a cook, 5★
“I grind my own wheat flour, so I used half fresh milled red wheat and half all purpose flour. I was very pleased with how it turned out. I love that it’s not too sweet, even with the extra glaze I put on it.” — a cook, 5★
