This was one of my favourites this time of year, only the original had wheat, eggs, sugar, and chocolate. Here is the updated version.
3 cups spelt flour
2 1/2 tsp baking soda
3 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup maple syrup
2/3 cup applesauce
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 cups cooked pumpkin
1 1/2 cup carob chips
Preheat oven to 325 F. Mix dry ingredients. Mix oil, applesauce, maple syrup, and pumpkin. Fold in dry ingredients until well mixed. Add carob chips.
