I really liked this recipe partly because it's just the right amount for 1 or 2 people. I made this as posted, however, I used 1 whole egg instead of 2 whites. I think next time I would add some chocolate chips or make a chocolate sauce to drizzle over it. It's definitely low sodium which is okay, however, my taste buds knew that something was missing. Thank you for contributing to my collection of recipes. Update: I've made this several times and found that I like it better if I use 3 Tblsp olive oil instead of applesauce. Sincerely, Sherry Belle
