These are the ultimate fall dessert and will be a favorite at your next potluck, dinner party, or whatever fall gathering you are attending. I made these extra moist, and they have just a hint of cinnamon so the pumpkin is the star of the show (more vitamin A for everyone)! These will be gone in a flash so you might need a double batch.
