Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup pumpkin

  • 1 cup honey

Walnut Filling:

  • ½ cup crushed walnuts

  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
