  2. Is there a recipe you could recommend without Almond butter. My daughter is highly allergic but I'm sure she would enjoy a pumpkin treat.

  6. SumOfFood - I just calculated it.
    I am guessing that the pan makes 24, so it's based on 1/24th of the recipe.

  9. Considering making this but without eggs. Probably don't really even need to replace them with anything. Maybe I'll put in half a banana.. Thanks!
