Submitted by AG0508

"I just created this recipe out of some ingredients I had on hand. They turned out really good...nice and soft (almost cakelike), and actually not all that bad for you because of the absence of butter or oil. My husband, 2 friends, and I ate almost the whole batch in one evening."
