I have an obsession with pumpkin in the fall months. This may explain why I have a shelf in my pantry devoted to Libby Canned Pumpkin. A good friend and fitness enthusiast (which is why I knew they had to be healthy) put this recipe up on her Facebook page. It caught my eye immediately, pumpkin and chocolate chips? Yes, please!!! I made them over the weekend and they were delicious!!!!

Would you suggest substituting the all-purpose flour, sugar, and vegetable oil for healthy alternatives to make this recipe healthier?
These came out wonderfully! Followed the directions to a “t” and my husband can not keep his hands off of them
Substituted unsweetened applesauce for the oil. 1:1 ratio. They look and smell so good. Waiting a few more minutes for them to cool before I completely demolish them.
