I made these last night. They are very filling, tasty and certainly very healthy.

Good recipe, we enjoyed these, except I thought the carrots could be reduced, just to get more pineapple flavor (personnal preference). Going on a field trip, with the kids tommorow, and made an extra batch, for a light snack for them. Forgot love the whole wheat flour here too. Thanks for the recipe. Made for PRMR tag.

I am a 56 year old Gramma that, for the first time in my life, has purchase myself a computer, and I didn't know what i was missing!! I have a husband tha I adore, and 4 grandchildren that of course surpass all others - lol - I am disabled, and am an at home person, so I have a lot of time on my hands, to play with my recipes, and I am enjoying every bit of it - My husband will eat anything that I cook, so I have carte blanche as far as that goes, so I have a great time trying out new recipes. Paula Deen has published some of my favorite cookbooks, her recipes are easy and quick to do. Her sweets are fantastics, especially her pound cakes, Yummm I guess the dish that I am famous for is my Christmas ham - my family all comes home for Christmas, and if i don't have my ham they are dissapointed, and my grandson wants the pistachio squares!!! so I guess that is the dishes that I'm famous for.
