    These were fantastic, omitted the raisins and added dried apricot. Only used 1/2 cup brown sugar and 3 tbls honey. Still turned out sweet and moist. Sprinkled walnuts tossed in cinnamon on top before baking, made the top crunchy mmm Used 1/2 cup apple sauce instead of oil and all wholemeal flour.mmm - 2/27/09

    I didn't have ground flax seed or a coffee grinder so I put them in whole and they turned out good. I used applesauce instead of oil and only used a 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Not sure if I would make them that way again. - 2/18/10

    Can I replace the eggs with bananas in this recipe? If so I may or may not tweak the kinds of fruits/veggies in the recipe... - 3/19/09
