Can I make in a 9 x 13 pan?
I haven’t tried it but it should work if you bake it about 40 minutes but check that the center is cooked
Can I use squash instead of pumpkin? If so, are there any required changes?
Pureed butternut squash will work well, no other changes. Even mashed sweet potato can work.
Thanks!
