WOW am I eating a treat for breakfast this morning! I blew the whole "low sugar" thing by subbing the walnuts for caramel chips. SINFUL I must say. And man did these babies have rise! I didn't read the recipe very well and made this into one big round (instead of 2). . .will remember that next time :) Lastly, I added some cinnamon which was a fabulous addition and I used apple/carrot sauce in place of the apple sauce (carrots are not detectable). I will most certainly be making this recipe again!!!! Thanks my friend!
