    Loved it. Doubled it, and instead of using the oil, I used applesauce. One of the kids snack size apple sauce. Turned out very moist and fantastic flaver. Used pumpking pie spice and about 1 tbsp of cinnamon. love that stuff.

    Super yummy & easy! I trippled the recipe to make a bundt and added allspice and cloves to the seasonings. I also replaced the oil with 1/4 cup applesauce (for the trippling of the recipe) as well as used a whole 15oz can of pumpkin. I substituted the milk w/Soy 'nog' & added 1cup golden raisins. - 11/18/10

    yummy-licieux! Used no oil, nor egg -- apple sauce subs for both. Used half white flour and half flax-meal to meet the recommended flour portion. Reduced sugar, increased cinammon, and used fresh puréed ginger too...came out just the same! - 9/28/11

    Very good!!! I love gingerbread & pumpkin so this was a hit w/ me. I did use applesauce instead of the oil, but next time, might just go for it and use oil! I did double the spices as I like a spicy gingerbread, but it was good as is. Will make again for sure! Very simple and yummy! - 2/3/10
