Fall is well under way as is all things Pumpkin! Nothing warms the heart (and the tummy!) like freshly baked pumpkin treats. And these are a delicious snap, perfect to gobble up with tea or coffee on a cool autumn night. Vegan, delicious and easily made gluten free, these guilt free treats will be welcomed at home, school and office! Great with or without the filling too!

Bret,It’s very quiet. I can’t hear it at all, anytime. I still need to hook up the ice maker, I’m sure that makes some additional noises when it does its thing, but so far it’s great. I’m happy with the purchase.
