This recipe is very good. According to my kids, it tastes like a muffin-cake but not too sweet. I made it dairy-free by replacing the 2 eggs with 3 teaspoons EnerGy Egg Replacer plus 4 TBSP of warm water (Mix to froth just as with eggs. I also used fresh pressed apple sauce in place of the pineapple. I was a little nervous when mixing the ingredients because it looked too dry but they came out perfectly. Next time I intend to add a few raisins.
