• Be certain that to get pure pumpkin puree, NOT pumpkin pie filling. The cans are very comparable, however one is pumpkin solely, and the opposite is full of sugar, spices, and pie components. 
• For those who don’t have egg whites, or don’t wish to waste a yolk, utilizing two complete eggs is ok.
