Despite using white flour in place of the whole wheat, and an egg in place of the egg substitute, they turned out very well. I cut back on the honey just a bit, to keep them from being too sweet. The pineapple really adds to the flavour. I'll be making this recipe again. Thanks for posting.

I didn't have everything on hand so I used chopped dried papaya in place of the cranberries, coconut oil instead of vegetable oil, and a mix of sugar and stevia for the honey. They turned out really well!

I added 1/2 cup pineapple juice & 1/2 cup macadamia nuts to this & WOW!!!! Super moist. This will not last very long in my house.

What a great recipe! I like the simple ingredients and how easy these are to whip up and enjoy. They hold their moisture really well and are a delicious, stick-to-your-ribs breakfast with a cup of coffee! Used 2 large eggs in places of the substitute, but other than that I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks! My family devoured these in a few days. It's time to make some more!
