Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream (for filling)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (for filling)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (to taste, for filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk; mix until just combined.
