I also substituted chia seeds (thanks to idea from Buried with Children) in lieu of flax seeds. <br /><br />And added a dash of nutmeg, because it just seemed wrong to bake pumpkin without nutmeg.<br /><br />Anxiously awaiting to see if my daughter will eat them.Kelly @ Dancing with Chaoshttp://writingwithchaos.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1854254105777617960.post-41430538141137080022011-10-19T15:11:23.674-04:002011-10-19T15:11:23.674-04:00This is easy!

I've added nuts, any dried fruit (raisins, dried cherries, craisins). It's really hard to mess them up.<br /><br />Oh, and I use the Libby's canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling but 100% pumpkin.

My daughter is just getting old enough she wants to join us, which is difficult, because he doesn't like to share, and she doesn't under "no double dipping, dumping ingredients, or adding things to the bowl and leaving them there".<br /><br />Soon.. I hope soon both will be able to be helpers - kept in line by the promise of beater, bowl, and spoon licking.<br /><br />I might have to gives these a go. You say you can add any ingredients you want. You don't need pumpkin but can do applesauce? You mean the pumpkin you use in pies?<br /><br />I lack the chef gene but I want to try to involve my son in dinner prep soon..Kelly @ Dancing with Chaoshttp://writingwithchaos.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1854254105777617960.post-37895385416537316192011-10-17T18:56:16.347-04:002011-10-17T18:56:16.347-04:00can I come over? :) cheers, friend.can I come over? :) cheers, friend.Wendy @ mama one to threehttp://mamaonetothree.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1854254105777617960.post-32450316933348845782011-10-17T18:42:23.400-04:002011-10-17T18:42:23.400-04:00This---this was magic.
