This is ugg one of my all time favorites. I will sometimes use splenda instead of regular sugar. And Crasins instead of reaisins. All the joy half the fat. Good job on securing this one.

This was easy and tasty. I would cut back the sugar a little next time. It turned out sort of like a giant scone, it would be nice for breakfast.
