I followed this recipe exactly, which is out of character for me, and was very disappointed in the end result. It was not bursting with flavor and not a single part of it was crispy. The recipe also failed to state what you were supposed to do with the yogurt/maple syrup mixture. We ended up pouring it over the top after baking in an attempt to add moisture and flavor.
