They were okay. A little dense and heavy. My family isn't loving them, which means I'll end up eating the rest of the batch myself. Like that they are made of fruits and veggies.

This came out great! My kids downed several of them for "dessert" tonight. I decided to use oat flour instead of the wheat and all purpose flour and since I didn't have walnuts I put a whole cup of raisins in. I'm so glad I found this recipe!

I just took them out of the oven...had to eat one straight on! I was very pleased. I used the honey and I added a 1/2 tsp of ground ginger (no special reason, it was just sitting by the cinnamon when I reached for it) I used a bit more vegetables...I used both squash and carrots. Instead of raisins I used chopped dates (again, no special reason. I just had dates but not raisins) They will be a nice accompaniment to my lunch next week :)
