2 medium pie pumpkin or (15 ounce) cans pumpkin puree
4 eggs (separated)
1/4 red onion, finely diced

1/4 cup fresh oregano, finely chopped
1 1/4 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

1
Cut the pumpkin in half, scoop out the goop (and reserve the seeds to bake later!).
2
Roast the pumpkin at 375 F for about an hour.
3
Scoop out the cooked pumpkin and mash or puree.
4
Add the egg yolks to the mashed pumpkin.
5
Using a stand or hand mixer, beat the egg whites until they are foamy and form soft peaks.

Fold the egg white into the pumpkin, and mix in the remaining ingredients.
