  1. Very good! I used 1/2 cup applesauce & 1/4 cup butter, Splenda & 1 cup oats. I also left out the raisins & used 1/3 cup mini choc chips. Very yummy. Thank you!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Books and cooking are my passions...I love cookbooks by default. I will begin working on a Masters in English this coming fall...hopefully I'll still have time to cook! Someday I'd like to be able to publish my own cookbook from my family's recipes, but for now I'm just going to concentrate on getting my degree and becoming a better cook. I have an amazing boyfriend who, at 30, is just learning how to like vegetables and two rad, stripey cats.
