I really loved this! I used sugar free maple syrup (sweetened with Splenda), left out the cherries & almonds. Next time I'll use the raisins, but for some reason I just wanted something sweet & plain! I also used Splenda brown sugar. I burned the 1st batch because 30 min was WAY too long for my oven-so the next one I made I only baked for 18 minutes-much better! Thank u for sharing this.
