I felt like last year I was SO behind on the pumpkin train. By the time I was ready to make pumpkiny things, it was Thanskgiving and I had like one day to make them all happen.
Needless to say, I missed the boat.
So, in an effort to get a seat on that pumpkin boat… I mean… train, I started early. I’ll admit it. The early bird catches the train. Or worm, whatever. A worm metaphor didn’t seem right in a food post.

Yay! I’m so happy you enjoyed! I’m starting to find my oven runs a little hot 🙂
these look really great! could i use regular sugar instead of coconut sugar? how should i change the proportions, if so?
You can give it a shot! I’ve never texted it but I would probably do brown sugar. Let me know how it goes!! xo
