very good. I want sweeter, maybe double the brown sugar part & put a layer in the middle (more of a dessert than a breakfast for me). Because a previous reviewer complained I used slightly less baking soda than requested with no problems.

What can I say? You have another win win recipe. This was nice 'n moist with lots of flavor.

Sorry, but I did not really like this recipe. Coulda had more choc chips in batter, maybe a white/brown sugar mix for topping. I also seem to have trouble with recipes that have too much baking soda in them, since they get browner and I made sure I did not overbake.

My DGS and DGD loved this for a snack at Grandma's house. They thought it was great! I served it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and they both loved it!
