*(Note that apple sauce is a healthy substitution for oil. It has a lot less fat and calories than oil and works well in this recipe. You can still, of course, use oil instead of apple sauce or a combination of the two).

I pay $6 for 4 of these in my health food store. Good but a bit bland. Maybe a lot more spices needed (I didn't have nutmeg so added double cinnamon and vanilla.) Also, these need to be made into a batter with lots of warm water. I spaced and made them w/out and it just didn't work. Thanks for this! - 10/3/11
