     I was going to try to use this recipe but noticed the milk discrepancy also so "Googled" the title... Check out this link -- this recipe was "adapted" - the original had milk in it...

     Sound great! I'll probably use less Earth Balance, since I try to cook without added fats when possible, but this sound delish! - 11/15/10

     The maple syrup shouldn't be necessary if you have the brown sugar topping. It should be plenty sweet, and that would cut the calorie count considerably. - 9/24/20
