These are very good with a cup of coffee! I made with all whole-wheat flour, and you definitely know you're eating something healthy! They were a little dry, but that was OK for me as I wanted and was expecting a healthful breakfast treat. I did add both raisins and nuts, and used canola instead of safflower oil, (not sure how that affects the health value!)
