Tip
This recipe came to us many years ago through our childcare centre, the origin of the original recipe is unknown. These are a kind of a cross between a cake and a cookie, and have become known as 'cakies' in our family.
The texture of the cakies will vary depending on whether the pumpkin is cooled, cooled pumpkin results in a more cookie-like texture, hot/warm pumpkin results in a more cake-like texture (If I had to pick, I probably prefer the cookie-like texture with the cooled pumpkin).
We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Made this a few times and always a big hit! Thank you!
They have a lovely after taste. I love the fact that they have pumpkin in them.
Yum this was gorgeous and another way of sneaking in some vegies that the kids don't notice! Thanks for sharing!
Oh my Lordy.... Yum yum! I followed Lu and thermo's idea of replacing the sugar with coconut and maple syrup and used broken pieces of 90% choc because that's all I had.
Thanks so much for this amazing recipE. I made it for my daughters school fete. But I think I'll keep half for us.
Thank you for this recipe they are lovely! I just made a healthy version of these & they are yummy!
I used 50g coconut sugar instead of white sugar, added this to the pumpkin to break up. I also added 20g maple syrup. Then, I used 65g coconut oil instead of butter & only used 75g dark chic chips. Mine are also GF as I used GF flour.
I must have made mine much smaller as I got 35 cakies from this recipe. Mine came out like soft rock cakes. Yum!
Thanks for your comment Ariel! It's great to know they work well with sweet potato and GF flour too!
I made these with Sweet Potato (didn't have any pumpkin) and GF flour and they are a winner! Thank you for a yummy easy recipe!
Very Yummy! Great school snack!
Great recipe! Hubby and I loved them. The kids are yet to try them, however I did put them in the lunchboxes this morning and I have no doubt they will love them too. I used 150g of sugar which was enough sweetness for me. Thanks for posting!
