My biggest issue with pumpkin recipes is they don't have enough pumpkin. So I spent some time searching and found this recipe had the highest pumpkin ratio. Since the pumpkin and spices darken the batter, it took a couple tries to realize I needed to cook them longer. And I liked the counter-intuitive advice to let them cool so they are crispy and flavorful. Yummy!

Pumpkin Pie Spice
I love love pumpkin pie. And of course they all taste different, and I like mine the best. I think it is because of the spices. Some are cinnamon-y, some use allspice, some are anti-cloves. So this is the spice combination that I enjoy. I use it in pumpkin bread, pumpkin waffles, pumpkin smoothies, etc. too.
4 parts cinnamon
1 part nutmeg
1 part ginger
1/2 part cloves
Mix, store in airtight container, use liberally (or as indicated in recipe) for yummy pumpkin treats!
The first time I made it with teaspoons and it was gone too quick. The next time I made it with tablespoons and that may have been too much!
