Pumpkin Polenta Cake image

This is a CORE recipe: "The grainy texture of polenta and the marriage of flavours of pumpkin and sweet spices create a unique versatile loaf. Can also be made with sweet potato instead of pumpkin. Serve warm or cold with savoury or sweet dishes." You can also make muffins. Check for doneness, 20-30 minutes depending on size (makes about 18 regular sized muffins). I believe these are about 2 points per muffin. If you want Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins/Cake add 5 TBSP of cocoa powder and omit pumpkin pie spices
