If you love pumpkin pie then these are sure to please. Made for breakfast last week. I hold off on 5 stars because after 18 minutes of baking they were still moist on the bottom. I'm not sure if I should turn the heat up next time or just cook longer. I'll be experimenting though. Thanks!

Much tastier than what I expected. It's almost like a little pumpkin pie in a roll. I did have leftover filling, which I put in a pie shell - we'll see how that turns out. Thanks so much for posting! Made for I Recommend Tag Game.

What a great idea if you love pumpkin these are a must try! I cut the recipe in half (have plans to use the other half of the eagle brand) I also doubled the pumpkin pie spice and it was just right for us. I only used about 1/4 cup of ground pecans, I found that I had extra pumpkin mix left over Im not sure that I could have got any more in them, but thats ok Im storing it in the fridge for this weekend to make some more. Mine baked up in 13 minutes. Thanks for sharing this recipe, one I will make again and be thinking of you.
