    This Pumpkin Flan recipe is delicious. My husband couldn't believe it was low fat. I made it lower in calories by using Splenda Brown Sugar. It tasted fantastic!! - 1/31/09

    I wouldn't call this "flan" exactly since there is no caramel quality, however this is a fabulous substitute for full-on pumpkin pie. The addition of the touch of cayenne is sheer brilliance! I followed the ingredients closely, but I omitted the salt and used 1/3 cup Splenda Brown Sugar Blend. - 6/25/11

    Does anyone know the conversion for the egg substitute to real eggs? I will not use substitutes, chemical-laden garbage (topping) nor fat-free anything as fat is an extremely important part of any nutrition plan.

    I made this for myself because I love Pumpkin Bread. It freezes wonderfully and I ate it for weeks. I will certainly make this again and maybe share next time. - 1/11/09
