SO HOW'D IT GO?
These are fabulous! I left out the nuts, and used whole wheat flour. My family loved them and so did my Yoga Teacher's class! They are CRAZY :D good! Thanks for sharing!
I omitted the raisins & chopped up some pecans & these are very tasty but the texture to me is more like a muffin, so next time I'm going to put the batter in muffin tins & see how they turn out.
I just made these for a vegan potluck and I have to say, they are DELICIOUS!!! My whole apartment smells wonderful, =) I also omitted the nuts and the raisins. I love the cakey texture of these cookies!
Hehe I haven't made this recipe, I just found it but I had to comment because I possibly wouldn't have noticed it had it not said "photo by Kiri". I thought "What?! I didn't make these...". Being from England I don't know any other Kiris so I wanted to comment. Having now said all this, from the picture (and recipe) these cookies look DELICIOUS and I will be making these as soon as possible!
Love the nz touch with the tiki
Wow.... suprisingly good! I was out of brown sugar so I used normal. I also halved the recipe. I used only 1/3 of a cup of oil and used coconut oil. I didn't have any nuts, but I will DEFINITELY use them next time, needs a little something. I used way more spices than asked for and it turned out great.
i omitted the raisins and only added half a cup of nuts (i used pecans) and these are very good. puffy, cakey cookies that taste excellent. this recipe sure makes a lot, so i brought some home to the omni family who devoured them. this recipe is a keeper
these are pretty good! not too sweet and they are definitely cakey. they are super easy to make, and a nice change from the ordinary.
hi kiri, i recognised the tiki! I'm also from New Zealand. So nice to hear of somebody using real pumpkin! Our New Zealand cooking habits are so different from the US. I don't think we use so much processed food, or maybe I am just judging everything by my own eating habits, who knows? Anyway, it's the first time I've seen anything remotely New Zealand-ish on this site and so I wanted to comment.
Cheers!
adagio
This recipe is yummy! I don't think we have canned pumpkin in New Zealand (I've never seen it anyway!) so I just used boiled, mashed pumpkin and also skipped the nuts and raisins etc. I also used only half the oil and a mix of white and wholeheat flour. Despite all this mucking around they still came up great! :)
