You can substitute 1/2 cup ground flaxseed for 1/2 cup of the whole wheat flour if desired.

Excellent - just the right amount of spices and pumpkin flavor. I added 1/2 c chopped pecans - nice little added 'crunch'. Trying to make it even healthier, I cut the sugar to 1 1/2 c and it's plenty sweet for me. Also, I used 1/4 c canola oil and 1/2 c fat free yogurt -- still very, very moist! Finally, I baked mine in two 8" round cake pans for 40 minutes -- they rose beautifully and look so pretty cut in wedges.

I love love love all things pumpkin, so I'm glad to find a healthier version.

Readers may prefer to use fresh homemade pumpkin puree instead of the processed kind. Here's how: http://cookingripe.wordpress.com/2012/09/26/homemade-pumpkin-puree/

Wonderful! I used 3 eggs instead of egg product and it came out super delicious. My Grandmother approves!
