While I won't necessarily call this vegan (the butter is questionable), this was absolutely delicious! I ran out of butter, so I ended up using 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup applesauce and it turned out great. Also I didn't have apples and instant apple and cinnamon oatmeal, so I replaced it with more cinnamon oatmeal, making 2 cups. They were really good. Thanks for the recipe, I'll definitely make these again.
