    Delicious and incredibly easy! My family loves this recipe. It tastes like pumpkin pie, and we’ve enjoyed it on pancakes, biscuits, in peanut butter and pumpkin butter sandwiches (amazing!), and even warm on vanilla ice cream. ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. Carrie says:

    I haven’t tried it but I think that it would be fine to use granulated Splenda instead of sugar.

    Can I substitute Splenda for sugar?
