these were ok...a little mushy, even after baking - i forgot the eggs, and left out the wheat germ because i didn't have it. maybe it just needed to bake a little longer. i did take the liberty of adding a little pumpkin pie spice to flavor it up a bit, and a little splenda to make it a little sweeter - might try this again with a few changes
