Excellent! Wasnt sure what the 1 Teaspoon Ground was, so I added ground ginger. It was an excellent pumpkin bar! I used fresh pumpkin but sure canned would taste as good. Thanks for recipe!

can you use anything besides sugar in this recipe and what amount of substitute would you use? Cindi

instead of sugar you can use Sucanat in a 1:1 ratio. that can be used in any dessert or recipe calling for refined sugar...can be found at good healthfood stores.

wow!i was a wee bit worried about how firm these would turn out, but they are perfect! just a slight crust on the top and bottom, and like a pumpkin pie in the middle. this is the best recipe ive tried in a while, and my kids can't get enough of them! thanks!

Should the pumpkin be cooked?

Yuck! Maybe it was just me, but this turned out squishy and not at all appetizing! Plus the flavor was definitely lacking something. Sorry, but I won't be making these again.

These turned out very well! Theyre like pumpkin pie, but without the crust and with a cake or brownie-like consistency. Very tasty!

these are amazing! they turned out a lot more like cake than bars, but they are delicious even without icing. i accidentally used a can of spiced pumpkin pie mix rather than plain pumpkin [i was rushe'd at the store] but they didn't turn out too overly flavored. i took these to a potluck and everyone was in love. it was called spongey goodness more than once.

These turned out great. The taste was excellent. I used a teaspoon of ginger in place of the one ingredient on the list that wasn't complete. For some reason, mine formed a dense 1/4 layer at the bottom. It tasted a bit more like banana than the top part of the bread. This may have happened because I used a very ripe, frozen banana that had been completely thawed. Everyone that loves spicy pumpkin flavored food should try this! odds

What could i substitute for the tofu? My boyfriend can't digest soy very well. I'd like to try these.
