I have made your recipe several times, once with bananas and the other times with applesauce. Everyone seems to prefer the applesauce. Other wise I followed your recipe almost to a tee, substituting regular Splenda for the brown sugar blend. It is a very good healthy recipe and I thank you for submitting it.

Just added my first child to my family in June 2008. I am learning to be a good mom and homemaker and it is a real challenge, but a great one! I love to cook and try new ideas. I also love the outdoors, travel, live basketball, running, hiking...etc!! I am a southern girl at heart and I love being a housewife.
I love all types of foods and I love to re-make recipes into a more "healthy" versions.
