These were great! I aded about 1/8 c chopped nuts to the topping, I also doubled the topping amount as suggested. I also used the whole egg.

Quick, easy, and tasty... even without the topping! I used half whole wheat flour and a whole egg.Skipped the topping all together. Took out a min or two early and they were well received by my kids. Thanks for posting!
