Thanks so much for the recipe! It will be a family favorite from now on. I did appreciate the comments below. I made a couple of changes to the recipe. My husband cannot have nuts so I omitted them and added chocolate chips. I also decreased the oil and used applesauce instead. The result was good. My son (healthy athlete) even liked it, which is a huge compliment! I wonder if anyone else has tried any other variations with good results?
