Tips for this recipe – egg replacer!
What is an egg replacer? In the vegan/plant based community – it’s a replacement for using eggs. There are 2 methods I use – using ground flax meal OR chia seeds. The basic ratio is 1 tablespoon ground flax to 2 tablespoons water – OR 1 tablespoon chia seeds and 2 tablespoons water = 1 egg.
If I don’t have flax or chia seeds – can I use eggs in this recipe?
The answer is YES! If you don’t want to use an egg replacer – 2 eggs will work in this recipe.

Notes
Canned Pumpkin vs. Pumpkin Pie Filling
One huge point I want to make out – is when you are in the aisle looking for canned pumpin – do not make the mistake of getting pumpkin pie filling. What’s the difference? Canned pumpkin has only ONE ingredient: Pumpkin. Canned pumpkin pie filling has added spices and ingredients.
