• Cook’s Note:
• This recipe can be modified to fit your taste and health needs. Feel free to modify, add or subtract, anything that doesn’t appeal to you. I’ve tried at least ten different versions and they are all good.
• Apple juice can be substituted for water. Raisins or prunes can be substituted for dates. Chocolate chips are dried fruit can be substituted for nuts.
• These can also be baked in muffin cups.
