Can this be made with regular sugar and milk, it sounds amazing and I have fresh pumpkin puree I need to use up.
of course! Let me know how it turns out!
Hi! This looks delicious but I have a nut allergy. Is there a substitute for the pecans? I know the recipe uses 1/2 c which seems like a lot to just omit – but let me know if that would work too. thanks!
Hi Kiana, You’re welcome to substitute with a seed versus a nut! Let me know how it turns out!
This looks delicious! Can it be frozen after baked? Thanks!
LOVE this! I’ve made it twice and will be doubling the recipe next time to put it in a 13×9. Thank you!
If recipe is doubled, should I change the size of the pan to a 16 in pan??
Easy and delicious
